Seconds out! Round one! THE DEVIL'S DANCE FLOOR This isn't an official announcement from Duckworth. It's a page from my agent's newsletter and book fair rights catalogue, which is public. So, a tiny-text soft launch? Details subject to change. A lot of thank yous and less Disney, to come. 🐻🥊👊🏾👊🏻🦁🍺

So excited to get an advance copy of The Cat's Tales: Feline Fairy Tales and Folklore. I couldn't be happier – it looks absolutely lovely! @eandtbooks.bsky.social #cats #fairytales #folklore

So, the cat has made friends with a pigeon. I think perhaps they solve crimes together.

Was on BBC Cambridgeshire this lunchtime, talking to Chris Mann about my new book, Further. Chris is a great interviewer, and had actually read the book, so a really enjoyable chat... from 2'12" in. Observe my mastery of the promo pic. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Ten years ago I wrote a book called Faster, about going faster. To celebrate, I've written a book called Further, about going further. It's about the why and the how of ultra races and other very long bike rides. michaelhutchinson.co.uk/books Please buy it. I have a cat to support.

Out tomorrow -- just in time for father's day. It's certainly what I'm giving my father.

Recording the audiobook for "Further" in an over-heated cupboard full of foam in North London. An oddly intense experience. Some say it reconnects you with the ancient oral traditions of story telling. Some say it just teaches you not to use words you don't know how to pronounce.

This is outstanding on the vapid scientifically illiterate dreams of the tech overlord class arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Very happy that Darwin Comes to Town has come out in a Turkish edition with Avantür. This is a big deal as Türkiye has, together with the US, one of world's lowest rates of public acceptance of evolution, and is a global source of creationism. www.avanturkitap.com/kitaplarimiz...

It’s not often a piece of publishing really takes my breath away but this is beautiful

It's finally here! The BRAND NEW, fully updated edition of Tim Marshall's modern classic, #PrisonersOfGeography! Read this to understand what’s happening in our fast-changing world. Because if you don’t know geography, you’ll never have the full picture. bit.ly/42keHTH #geopolitics #geography

The new @nicolakellywrites.bsky.social book on the British asylum system looks outstanding. It's at the top of the pile.

What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? No matter how closely you think you've been paying attention, the truth is far weirder and way more disturbing than you imagine. I just read @adambecker.bsky.social's new book in proof and it's a gripping, spine-chilling story. Out April 22—preorder now!

We were having a discussion on here the other day about whether podcast mentions and appearances are useful for selling books. That would be a 'yes'.

Here you go. Out on 2 October. Into the Groove - The 1980s: The Ultimate Decade in Music History. Published by Elliott & Thompson. @eandtbooks.bsky.social By me, Justin Lewis. Excited now.

🎉 #TheFiresOfGallipoli included in @thetimes.com selection of the best historical fiction of 2025 so far! 'A wonderful, unsentimental novel about male friendship in wartime.' Read the full review: www.thetimes.com/culture/book... #WWI #WW1 #WarNovel #fiction #Gallipoli #wartime

Urban biodiversity hotspots are not always where you expect them. The facade of Igreja da Candelária in Rio de Janeiro is home to a microbial film of 100,000 extremophilic microbes. More about such unseen urban biodiversity in my book The Urban Naturalist! (See: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....)

Reminder: Reading my book won't make the trade situation any better, but it will help you discover new and interesting ways in which it's terrible.

Can’t resist a bit of client spotting when I’m in a bookshop

In my new book, The Urban Naturalist, I talk about inspiring community scientists like Graham Moates, who used his plastic cleanups to discover that, in the UK, 3 million mammals every year die inside discarded bottles and cans. His paper: lnkd.in/er8u49s8

We can't wait to release this new edition of #PrisonersOfGeography by Tim Marshall! It will include an extra 100 pages and fully updated text throughout to reflect the changing world around us...

"This is not a book to be pitched lightly, but to be hurled with great force."

Highly recommend How to Pitch a Book by @jamesspackman73.bsky.social. Warm, concise, full of great case studies and thought-provoking exercises. Will definitely inform my LBF preparations.

He did it! Lost in the Garden by @adamsleslie.bsky.social has won the Nero Book Award for Fiction! Congratulations to Adam, the team at @deadinkbooks.bsky.social, and agent @eliarieh.bsky.social
