Day five of my #tree #adventcalendar & here's the Bowl Oak, one of my besties as my daughter would say. It holds onto its leaves late. I call it the Bowl Oak coz it has a bowl in its bole where you can sit & watch the water meadow from a new angle. I'd love to see your arboreal besties...

following - great topic. My video editor is an almost completely deaf person; she has skills exceeding those of hearing ppl in many ways; and we adjust for audio needs.

We have a new course coming up at start of December which will be interesting to those of you who live with chronic health conditions or disability, or care for someone who does. This week @lilydunn.bsky.social wrote about it and the power of embodied writing. open.substack.com/pub/londonli...

Twice a year we make catalogues to share our upcoming books with booksellers and journalists and all kinds of interested (hopefully interested!) folk. In recent years we’ve been commissioning illustrators for the covers: it’s become a real highlight for me to see what they come up with.

Thrilled to announce that the Northern Fiction Alliance's Winter Showcase will be on the 12th December in store! Join publishing superstars @commapress.bsky.social, @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social, @northodoxpress.bsky.social and @saraband-books.bsky.social for some literary delights!

If you love memoir and reading personal essays, come and join me and others for my first Memoir Club - on Zoom tonight. You need to be subscribed to our @londonlitlab.bsky.social Substack to join. But it will be worth it! We're discussing Natalia Ginzburg's 'He and I'. #memoir #lifewriting

We are very much looking forward to hosting this course at the end of November and there are still a few spots available. Book now!

What has Zoe been reading? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, 150th Anniversary edition illustrated by Salvador Dali – our idea of Alice always shrinks, rather like the character herself, and whenever I return to this book I find forgotten delights and new meanings. ❤️ #reading #illustrations
