#jobsinpublishing alert! We're looking for an editorial assistant to work across fiction and non-fiction. You'll be reporting to me and Tig Wallace but working with all the amazing editors at Sphere - I may be biased but I think we're the nicest team in the business, and our books are *chef's kiss*

Publishers, agents, booksellers. I have the most beautiful #proofs of a gorgeous historical novel coming in February. Quite a few people have said some very nice things. If you would like one please let me know.

Started my new #buddyread with @bookbint.bsky.social and loving it so far! Thank you @rosannaforte.bsky.social for sending us proofs!

A little plea from a publisher: please don't sell uncorrected proofs on for a profit. They are circulated for review with trust. Though it might not feel like a big deal, it's actually piracy because the author gets nothing for the sale.

Also horray for Joanne Burn, whose The Bone Hunters is one of just three historical novels selected by the Daily Mail for their books of the year. I get to work with such talented authors! www.dailymail.co.uk/home/books/a...

Delighted to see #TheWomanintheWallpaper selected as Netgalley's Book of the Month for February. They called it "a vivid, consuming and utterly enthralling novel of secrets, politics and mystery". Available to request now

The Winter Spirits is a Blackwell’s book of the month and it is looking VERY SHINY. I’m so happy to have a story in this collection. I did not sail to a deserted island in the fog and risk being eaten by wild sheep for nought!

Spectacularly late to the party as always, but I have finally left the hellscape, and am looking for some bookish friends here.
