I see BookBub have disabled replies for this ad, so I have to QT and say that their ad copy suggesting that paying anything more than £2 for an ebook is “overpaying” is an insult to the very authors who provide their source of income. Poor show, BookBub.

‘The way to write the best book is to write the one that is tugging at your sleeve. Follow your nose. I can’t think about what genre it is & whether it is commercial or historical just that it is the book that needs to be written.’ Maggie on her next book @clivedenlitfest

@Matineegirl Jealous!! definitely go to the Strand — amazing bookstore. If it was me I’d also check out The Ripped Bodice — a new romance only bookshop.
You MUST go for a long walk around Central Park, particularly if it’s autumn — so gorgeous.

There are countless ‘hidden’ jobs in publishing that don’t get talked about or celebrated enough.

I’d like to invite anyone in publishing to highlight colleagues for their amazing work (especially if their work is more behind-the-scenes) - I’ll start!
