Embarrassingly I've made a Substack for the semi-occasional times I fancy bleating on about publishing, and my job. The first post is on People and Publishing, and my thinking about how we weigh up the business side of the industry with its authors... https://t.co/vyy8fM56c8

'A trial is rather like a play. We wear our costumes. We perform to the audience. And on a good day no-one gets murdered' After a beheading live on stage, the drama in the smash-hit play Daughters of the Revolution, is left to play out in the courtroom... https://t.co/YfI3dE2kI1

Still somewhat buzzing off it, tbh. What a fine bunch of eclectic superstars they are.

Yesterday, I threw a party to launch @AppleTreeLit. I’m *so* unbelievably proud of my incredible authors. So many of them turned out, each as glorious and talented as the next. Working for them, empowering them as people not products, is everything I’ve wanted to build here.
Hugest congrats to my brilliant, brilliant agent, @OneChapterMore , launching his own agency @AppleTreeLit. Did his gesticulations with a dangerously full glass of fizz, it was chic and wonderful and jaunty!

In just over a week I’ll be in Amsterdam talking at G10 Festival. All the talks will be live-streamed, should the Netherlands be a bit of a stretch. It’s going to be a fascinating weekend. I’m honoured to be among these speakers. Hope you can join us! https://t.co/pO39fDmJbn

Do support this if you can. Influx Press is responsible for some of the best Indie publishing in recent years - they helped discover Eliza Clark, brought Percival Everett’s books back to the UK, and their taste is exceptional. They’re a necessary salve in the publishing landscape
BIG NEWS! Today, we launch our new Kickstarter campaign in support of the 12 titles we have planned for next year, to help get Influx back to doing what we do best – publishing the quality, innovative books that you want to read Please support us here https://t.co/JDhAQUIWO1

It’s all well and good to keep up the popularity of graphic novels in the kids space, but if it doesn’t bleed into adult space, how does it help? Why is no one taking advantage of a generation being brought up on @AliceOseman’s Heartstopper, and publishing for them in their 20s?

For the past several months I’ve been trying to- and sadly not succeeding - to sell a challenging, but utterly superb, graphic novel memoir of the non-binary experience. It’s FUN HOME for the nb generation. (1/2)
Up next we have a panel asking how we can keep the momentum going on the popularity of graphic novels, joining us are @KarrieFransman, @RuthMKnowles @RamzeeRawkz and James Spackman 🎨 See the thread below for insights from this session at #KidsConf 👇

Delighted that Sir Graham Brady’s KINGMAKER publishes today! It is, as The Telegraph rightly says, truly “explosive.” Whether you agree with his politics or not, no-one has had a more up-close-and-personal view of our recent politics than Graham. It’s a must read

Echoing @jeffvandermeer recommendation to buy @ride_trips excellent new book exploring the reality of modern life as ride-hailing platforms have taken advantage of the social contract to dominate the lives of millions of gig workers, which I reviewed for @BooksinFive below! 1/5
