Amazing time at the #NorthernPublishersFair with you all!

I'm a stablehand two mornings a week, and I have to say, there is nothing that brings me joy like working with animals. It is possibly my favourite thing, even if I’m just changing water and cleaning stalls. Just the smell of the stables is joy. What makes you feel that way? #horses #stables

Looking forward to welcoming you on Saturday to the Northern Publishers' Fair! Peruse books from 16 publishers (and agents) across genres including literary fiction, genre fiction, middle-grade and children's, non-fiction, poetry and memoir. fly-on-the-wall-press.eventcube.io/events/87204... #books

Thank you so much! 🔥

We have a treat for you today - a sneak peek into the first chapter of feminist fantasy Witchborne by @rgrosvenorauthor.bsky.social 3 days before it comes out into the world! flyonthewallpress.substack.com/p/a-witch-is... #books📚💙 #fantasyauthor @inpressbooks.bsky.social

4 days to go until Witchborne is released. This is the novel I’ve always wanted to write. An unflinching portrayal of what it is to exist in a society that celebrates the lifecycle of maiden, mother, crone, and to find yourself apart from it. #historicalfantasy #maidenmothercrone #fantasy #fiction

Very excited to be entering @rosiegarlandwriter.bsky.social into the #republicofconsciousness prize - wish her the best of luck!! www.flyonthewallpress.co.uk/product-page... #queermagic #magicalrealism

Indie bookshops face 'enormous' business rate hikes 😞 Worried about what this means for publishers too, who already give away up to 91% of a book's RRP to the book shop and distributor chain. There's no room to give higher percentages to bookshops 😞 www.thebookseller.com/news/i-thoug... #books💙📚
