A fantastic two days at the London Book Fair as part of @PeterLangGroup - lots of inspiration and lots of books now on my reading list! #LBF23

@HachetteUK @colsonwhitehead Always when I’m out at lunch with the team! Looks a fab read though!

@JimSpim #UKSG conference once had fairground rides! It was a memorable one #LBF23

As a reader, my main suggestion would be that you recognise you are more than just your book. Too “salesy” & you might put people off. We want to know you - what inspires you, do you have (or did have) an exciting career? Tell us what you’re reading too. We’re interested!

[Jules Swain @thereadingpara]

We all agreed that you should choose whichever platform suits you, as if you try to engage on a platform that isn’t for you & you don’t enjoy it, that will come across. You’ll be more successful if it’s something you’re natural at.

Top tips from the keeping up with social media session with @julesbuddle @EmmaPetfield
@Baughly and @Naomi_Bacon #LBF23 - Be nice, be authentic, be human

[Lucy Whitmarsh @LucyWhitmarsh]

Loving the format here at @envelope_books at #LBF23. Hiding away in the children’s section but worth a visit!

[Lucy Whitmarsh @LucyWhitmarsh]

Off to roam the aisles of #londonbookfair again! Where should I go? Where are this years hot spots? #LBF23

[Lucy Whitmarsh @LucyWhitmarsh]

Great session on accessibility and inclusion - a topic that needs to be given the investment and focus it deserves in the publishing world - thank you @GadsbyOliver @ways2read and @VPMENON #LBF23

[Lucy Whitmarsh @LucyWhitmarsh]

Q&A: what about the backlist - books that are sold after the date need to be accessible, whether front or backlist. We shouldn’t be thinking differently about them #LBF23

[Lucy Whitmarsh @LucyWhitmarsh]

Q&A - books on Amazon today - how many are actually accessible? Accessibility isn’t binary, kindle platform opens up opportunity for personalisation for the reader but not 100% there yet. #LBF23

[Lucy Whitmarsh @LucyWhitmarsh]

Issues solved by the open web - accessibility across different languages and scripts. Technology plays a large part in improving things for the future #LBF23
