Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and Queen Victoria were so excited to get their hands on copies of Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy, the only book to look at the global history of female kings/reigning queens. It’s out in paperback next month and available for pre order 😀 @wearefootnote #womenwhoruledtheworld

Derek was a exceptional champion of good writing, and a real gentleman too. I have very fond memories of him - a brilliant agent and a valuable mentor. (Incidentally, shouldn't forget that the amazing Linda Shaughnessy was also running AP Watt with them.) https://t.co/BiX5Rqfyw3

The report has, for the first time, put a number on the knock-on benefits of Edinburgh’s literary activities to the city’s local economy: £50.9m in gross value added, driven by the spend of visitors hungry for a taste of literary Edinburgh https://t.co/lDp2h9ES9S

🎖️ Where’s the line between remembrance and retail? 🤔 Author @churchill_alex doesn’t hold back as she tackles the increasingly bizarre ways war and remembrance are being commercialised. It’s funny, shocking and asks some serious questions about how we honour the past.
