@Booktrust Can't quite remember off by heart, but the rhyme and rhythm is imprinted forever: Diggers are good at dig, dig, digging, scooping up the earth and lifting and tipping

@AliceLutyens I read it when I was 12! Don’t think my parents had any idea. Read first 2 then got bored so just skipped to the end of the last one.

@LauraPAuthor I read Judy Blume and Paula Danziger and all the other ‘teen fiction’ in Headingley library when I was 12/13. Now 51.

Quick tip for anyone applying for job roles - try and make the CV or coverletter relevant to the employer or role. "I am x,y,z..." (followed by generic list of attributes, skills etc) isn't nearly as impactful as "I can see that you are doing x, I have experience in x...."

Book publishing. Ghostwriting. Editorial integrity. Second time in two months that these have been headline news...

Very early in my first job @BBCBooks a member of the public rang me to correct a mistake in our Match of the Day book. It was only at the end of the call that I realised the 'old man' was actually the author #JohnMotson and only today that I've realised he was only 49!

Happy Publication Day @PublicityBooks! V glad to have been there for your first event @WaterstonesPicc (and cocktails after with @HilaryTailor @_franlittlewood). Sadly no photos of that bit of the evening…#TheGarnettGirls

Thank you @uk_publishers @IngramContent for a great day learning about all the fantastic services you provide and giving our students chance to see how the books they are working on will be printed. @Kingstonjourno

Very relaxing start to my working day listening to @BookshapersPod about the very first typesetting machine: the ‘pianotype’. Thanks @mafunyane and @bittenpub xx
