Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to £6,600 per year this way. That’s more than I’ve been paid by any publisher this year.

So the walking ends and we turn in at our doors and switch on the light and there are all the books in rows trying to tell us what we could have done. From ‘Nine Poems’, in Peter Riley's 'Truth, Justice, and the Companionship of Owls' longbarrowpress.com/featured-poe...

I've had the pleasure of a) seeing this book materialise as object during design stage, b) hearing Fay read the developing work over the last few years, & c) welcoming it into my studio for yesterday's photoshoot. Fay is a terrific writer. This is an important, lyrical, & gently political book.
