You might think you live a good life, but this bookish goblin is reading a book about sentences and the way they sing 😊

Currently researching (for work purposes): How to power a people’s press with cookies. Answers are not forthcoming. *munch*

Highly recommend reading at home, but if you leave the house you risk travelling across dimensions by accident. Not my responsibility. Just make sure you can still post a review and power a people’s press.

Polly Everett has joined forces with Bug. We’re doomed. She’s gonna sneeze him to victory.

Boss: We need more ARC readers. Me: I think they’re plotting something. Boss: They’re enthusiastic readers. Chill. Me: Still. I’m uneasy. Boss: Just post the damn link. Me: Fine. POWER A PEOPLE’S PRESS 💪 Sign up to be an ARC reader 👇

A HUGE thank you to everyone who buys our books, supporting us and our incredible authors 💜 Together we POWER A PEOPLE’S PRESS! - inkbookshop.com

Week 1 of the new campaign complete. Shelf space: imaginary but we make it work. Store atmosphere: Chaos, with smatterings of lustful glances (at books, obvs). Boss: Wondering, once again, why she hired me.

I got my hands on a multiverse bookstore recently. Got a lot of books. Turns out all these characters know each other and Bug is on the warpath again. That cutie has a mean streak in real life and I’m concerned for my safety.

Closing time, everyone out. No, wait. It’s an online bookstore. We never close. This is both sad and very good news! I’m hapsad. Saddy? Sappy? Nope. Nevermind, Boss says I can’t post this anyway.

Multiverse update: Penelope Pond is currently arguing with Monkey-Dog over snacks. Why Penelope wants to gnaw a bone, the Void only knows.

Boss: Spotlight another title. Me: *Throws a copy of The Heroes of Elwhen into the Void. Stirs it a little with a spoon.* Boss: What the hell was that? Me: *Sips the potion* Boss: But you’re not telling them anything about the book! Me: *Nods in appreciation. Sips again*

If we had a big, real, cozy bookshop for realz, what would you want to see first? A) A mini cafe with the best coffee ever B) Huge armchairs that will drown you C) A pet dragon who we’ve told to stop lighting people’s cigarettes but apparently “Tolkien smoked” so everything is fine?

Our time-travelling miscreant, Bug, just tried to sneak onto the display shelf. I told him to back the hell off. This ain’t his territory. He’s gonna get himself killed. Lunatic.

Staff Pick of the Week: THE MERMAZING ADVENTURES OF PENELOPE POND by Alice Barker. Boss says I should “promote it nicely”... I says “AAGGHHH LOOK A NEW BOOK! LOOK! HERE! PRE-ORDER, DAMMIT!” Boss says “I hope you’ve not posted that” But I did. (Paperback pre-orders come with a FREE digital copy!)

The Void is currently accepting agonising screams as well as guttural roars as forms of book marketing. Have at it.

Boss: Start the new campaign with something professional, for the love of God. Me: EVERY INDIE BOOK YOU BUY FUELS THE REBELLION!! Boss: Is that good? Me: Like always, we'll find out. Power a People’s Press 💪

They say you should vote for the change you'd like to see. That includes where you choose to get your books. Support Indie Bookstores! (We sell our own books at inkbookshop.com)

People keep this press alive. Every order through our store instead of Jeff's technofeudal empire is a massive win for a people-powered press 💪📚

Wanna join an ARC Team for a publisher that doesn't care about follower counts and promotes diverse voices?? Hiya 👋 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Boss: how are you promoting our books on socials? Me: erm, does calling terfs "weirdos" count? Boss: no, but I approve Me: BUY OUR BOOKS!!!! Boss: Why are you shouting at me? Me: It's for the socials post. Also, terfs are weirdos. Protect the dolls 🏳️‍⚧️

I'll be at this event next Saturday with my #ShapeshifterRomance #SF books #BookSky 📚💙 - and I'm looking forward to chatting with other writers. #Lancashire

Heartbreaking, but doomscrolling is not “research,” babes 💜

Announcements!!! 1. 'Inked' & 'The Heroes of Elwhen' will be published in 7 days! 2. Cover Reveal coming on Monday 28th 👀 3. Independent Bookstore Day is on 26th May 4. Books are portals I use to escape reality because I'd rather face an army of orcs, thank you very much

I said something political the other day and I’d like to apologise. Even though billionaires are destroying the planet, targeting minorities with hate campaigns, and putting on book sales during Independent Bookstore Day, we should have stayed silent... 1/2

All we want to do is publish your book and give it a pretty cover 😍 All you need to do is send it to us! (but finish writing it first...)
