A lovely profile this month in @spiracleaudiobooks.bsky.social Spotlight series, this time focusing on Renard 🦊 in celebration of five years of publishing 🙌 www.spiracleaudiobooks.com/articles/aus...

Gorgeous #bookpost in from @renardpress.com - their design is always so stunning! 😍😊💙📚

Congrats to our member @renardpress.com on their 5th anniversary in #publishing!🥳 A former winner of the Young Independent Publisher Award, Will Dady looks back on the highs and lows of his small press, with some very interesting insights and lessons learned in this blog👉 buff.ly/1hiDgag #booksky

Received my contributor copies of The Curae II, collecting the shortlisted and prize-winning entries for this year’s Curae Prize, for writers who are also carers. Many thanks to @bookwormvaught.bsky.social for establishing the prize and @renardpress.com for publishing the anthology...

Finally getting some time for all the books I picked up at @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social

renardpress.com/books/all-th... This is out 10/02/26 with pre-orders open now @renardpress.com

Gertrude Stein was a writer with a fascinating (unique?) style. My review of her 'Three Lives': bit.ly/44FctjJ #Booksky 💙📚 #Books 📚 #Literaturesky @renardpress.com

A grand day out with @bibliorefuses.bsky.social / @muinbeoarchives.bsky.social & @hardimanmk.bsky.social. Met @swanriverpress.bsky.social in the flesh (yes, books were bought), chatted pleasantly with @sinoistbooks.bsky.social, @renardpress.com & other publishers. 👏👏@dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social 📚

Today’s @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social restored bruised faith in the books industry. Passionate people, labours of love. And I finally got hold of longtime mutual @scyflynn.bsky.social’s book direct from Will at @renardpress.com, and met the man himself!

Lovely to see my book Saltburn on this @bookshop.org #IndieBlackFriday list @renardpress.com - click on the link and browse some indie publishing delights. Amazon doesn’t need ALL our money. 😂🙌 uk.bookshop.org/lists/an-ind...

Book news! Delighted to share the cover of my next book. Out 10/02/26 @renardpress.com Read about it here: renardpress.com/books/all-th... It’s a short novel, creeping, unsettling and a book of taboo and that’s for sure. 📚💙

Celebrating five years of @renardpress.com and my place in the birthday anthology 🩵🧡 thank you for publishing Interlude 🐦

This #workinpublishing week remember there’s much more to this world than just editorial… Come and typeset some Jane Austen with us! #beautifulbooks

www.spiracleaudiobooks.com/articles/sam... Nice interview with my esteemed publisher @galleybeggars.bsky.social

A very generous and flattering profile of our press from the excellent Will Dady at @renardpress.com and in association with the splendid @spiracleaudiobooks.bsky.social : www.spiracleaudiobooks.com/articles/sam... I spoke - at great length! - and he very kindly and patiently took it all down...

And while Black Friday Week might be starting over on Amazon I’ll be celebrating #BlueWednesday week where you can buy my books full price from brilliant indie publishers. @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social @renardpress.com Support #IndiePublishing

Sharing this again! I've since added the @saraband-books.bsky.social book 'Peat and Whisky: The Unbreakable Bond' by Mike Billett to this list, as well as 'The Zebra and Lord Jones' by Anna Vaught (and @renardpress.com )😍

Really pleased to be included in the @renardpress.com anthology, celebrating five years of the prese #poetry

Happiest of publication days to the new #Curae anthology. It’s full of brilliant new work and all proceeds go to Carers UK and Carers’ Trust. renardpress.com/books/the-cu... @renardpress.com 💙📚

Me and @eireannmor.bsky.social have a few words on @rte.ie about small presses, the "rich forest of independent publishing," and the Dublin Small Press Fair @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social (28/29 November, Pearse St library): www.rte.ie/culture/2025...

Join us at the Dublin Small Press Fair on November 28th for a discussion on Independent Publishing with: 🌠 Will Dady from @renardpress.com 🌠Eimear Ryan from @bansheepress.bsky.social 🌠Brendan MacEvilly from Holy Show 🌠and chaired by our very own Nidhi Zak / Aria Eipe

Day out in Edinburgh, coming back with a very pleasing pile of books which feel just right for winter nights. Uneasy Elixers is a cracking cocktail book. Lots of classics with smart twists inspired by Edward Gorey. I'm keeping this one but it would make a fantastic present

So excited for this - and it looks like it might be sold out! 👀

My poetry books. So grateful to my publishers and readers. I want to write forever 🧡 (These three anthologies and my two collections are available from all good bookshops.) @renardpress.com @panmacmillan.bsky.social

The wonderful @renardpress.com is 5 years old and has brought out a "special numbered limited-edition of the Publisher’s selection of some of the finest work we’ve had the pleasure of publishing", including, I'm proud to say, bits by me, alongside many others: renardpress.com/books/renard...

Although my first book was published in 2002, now is the first time I have had two books in print at the same time, Seven Nights and the Flamingo Hotel and Saltburn. And I’m very proud of both, @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social @renardpress.com Slap on back! open.substack.com/pub/drewgumm...

Or take a trip to Saltburn. I’ve got all your holidays sorted out. 😝 @renardpress.com renardpress.com/books/saltbu...

A cheeky little folk horror story from @renardpress.com: Her Winter Song by Anna Vaught. This one is a real treat for the festive season - think Ira Levin unsettling, but with gorgeous art, and a really nicely presented book. Like an A24 film on paper.

@renardpress.com Well that was an interesting experience! Losing my Gertrude Stein virginity to 'Blood on the Dining Room Floor'. Not quite sure what to make of it. bit.ly/47sGgOI #Booksky 💙📚 #Books 📚 #Literaturesky

Send a book instead of a card for Christmas and support a charity. It’s a win win Christmas win.

Can’t quite believe it’s time already… but here’s the latest #christmascard Classic, once again supporting our friends Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book and support the work of a refugee charity! 💚💚💚 renardpress.com/books/a-chil...

Thrilled to receive these delightful editions from @renardpress.com's impressive Classic Fiction selection: Three Lives - Gertrude Stein It Can't Happen Here - Sinclair Lewis Venus and Adonis - William Shakespeare Catharine of the Bower - Jane Austen

Join us for the online launch of the #CuraePrize anthology from @renardpress.com! The Curae Prize is a literary award for unpaid carers. Expect fresh, vibrant fiction, nonfiction & poetry. 📆 12 November 2025, 6pm 🎟️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-curae-... (free) #writingcommunity #writersky #carers

And nice to see they have my book in the library. @renardpress.com

Happy Hallowe’en to all, and to all a good fright… Getting in the mood with some #gothic fiction. How many of these have you read? 🤔 😱 renardpress.com/gothic-titles/ #halloween #booksky

Nice delivery from @renardpress.com

The lovely folks at CMP Books have just sent this gorgeous video of one of our latest books swinging from screen to book. (We’ve added some technical jargon to explain the process.) (I think Gertrude Stein would appreciate the salon jazz, but might be somewhat baffled by the modern process…)

Very excited for this – do join!

@renardpress.com is a truly special place in the publishing world. I’m proud to have a piece from my novel #NeverLaura included in their 5th Anniversary Anthology. I love that this one doesn’t just celebrate stories; it helps bring books to food banks via Bookbanksuk.

Thanks to @adamjfarrer.bsky.social for this brilliant review of Saltburn @renardpress.com - ‘an English Vonnegut’ 😊

If I may, how about this weird and beautifully illustrated novelette, Her Winter Song? For the solstice but it’s creepy - folk horror. With the white horses of the Wiltshire uplands run free

This month for our #ShufflingtheShelves feature, where our authors recommend gems in our backlist, writer Clare Colvin tells us a bit about short stories, and what inspired her collection Stone Children. renardpress.com/news-item/st... 📚
