A great piece by @sarahshaffi.bsky.social in #VogueArabia for Faiqa Mansab's #TheSufiStoryteller @neemtreepress.bsky.social. Faiqa will be in London in May for the #KSLF and is available for interview. #TheSufiStoryteller drew me in and has not let me go. 💜 www.voguearabia.com/article/faiq...

A great thread on what traditional publishing offers, why you might want to self-publish, and what you should be aware of if you’re paying money for publishing services.

I put proofs out on the wall regularly, and today I got this lovely note…

The (mostly) 2025 bookshelves are looking cute, and full of lots of books I’m looking forward to reading. Anything catch your attention?
