It’s #NationalPoetryDay. So why not buy a copy of my new book, which combines my own reportage from conflict zones with selected poems? If you thought war poetry was all by the Great War soldier-poets, think again. There are so many great women war poets from across the globe.

@jack_goulder @gdnlongread I really enjoyed this article, which felt very balanced while still asking difficult questions. I wonder if you've thought about writing a book? I'm a literary agent and would love to chat if you want to email me on [email protected].

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

Very proud to represent @lottelydia whose masterful, revealing, fascinating IMPERIAL ISLAND is out in paperback now (with very appealing pink type)

[David Robson @d_a_robson]

Grinning like a kid on his birthday at receiving my first copies of The Laws of Connection! Thanks so much to the team at @canongatebooks, and @PlittyC for having brought this into reality.

I can’t wait to share it with you all in the first week of June!

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

This one is going to be special. Ọrẹ is the perfect author for the fascinating, beautiful, mostly untold story of Nigerians in Britain.

[Ọrẹ Ogunbiyi @OreOgunb]

*some personal news* I am writing another book!

A joy to be back with the @MerkyBooks team who completely got my vision for this from the get-go. Can’t wait to share all these stories with you 🇳🇬🇬🇧❤️

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

SO excited about this one. @zakiasewell is a true talent, and I can't wait to continue this wonderful, weird, pagan journey with her.

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

@ZeljkaMarosevic @LitFriction @octaviabright_ Thank you dear Zeljka ❤️

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

After 10 wonderful years, we're ending @LitFriction in December. It's been a true joy to podcast with my dear friend and co-host @octaviabright_ for a decade, and I'm really going to miss it! Thank you to everyone who has helped make it happen, especially our incredible listeners

[Literary Friction @LitFriction]

Minisode 45 is out - in which we return to the theme of friendship (ours & in general). We also make a pretty big announcement: after 10 wonderful years of LF, our Year in Review show this December will be our last. (1/2)

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

@minutetrace @LitFriction @octaviabright_ Yes the archive will remain available!

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

A COLD SPELL by Max Leonard is out today. It's a delightful, impeccably researched and fascinating history of ice. It also makes the perfect holiday gift. See Max's thread for a taster...

[Max Leonard @m_xl]

Yikes, my book A COLD SPELL: A HUMAN HISTORY is out in two days and it feels like I’ve barely talked about it yet!

I’m going to post a thread of pictures of some of my favourite bits.

Also, don’t forget I’ll be talking @StanfordsTravel on Weds 15 Nov..

Thrilled to see two of my wonderful authors, @sixteenthCgirl and @NicolaRollock, on the judging panel for the new and much needed Women's Prize for Non-Fiction.

[Women's Prize @WomensPrize]

What kind of reader are you? 📖
Are you voracious… speedy… detailed… or just plain greedy?

We are thrilled to introduce you to our 2024 #WomensPrize judges. Head over to our new look 👀 website and find out what kind of readers they are: https://t.co/3hap8WxzWq

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

Reading and interviewing @NaomiAKlein was a joy, and it gave me a new vocabulary for the moment we're living through. She had so many interesting things to say about doppelgangers, diagonalism, the art of storytelling, conspiracy, the state of the left... the list goes on.

[Literary Friction @LitFriction]

Our episode with @NaomiAKlein is ready wherever you listen - we really loved talking to Naomi about Doppelganger, the allure & perils of mirror worlds, the wellness to far right pipeline, conspiracy theories & much more. Plus all the usual recs - enjoy! 💜

@RamzeeRawkz @dank_ackroyd NOT CUTE

[Rikhi Ubhi @Rik_Hi]

And just how wonderful is this cover for FILTERWORLD, designed by the great Oliver Munday? So happy to be working with Kyle, @CarolineMEisen and @PlittyC in bringing this out in the UK. Coming Jan 24 - and available for pre-order now.

[Carrie Plitt @PlittyC]

@RamzeeRawkz 😂😂😂 love it. And probably more accurate than my sketchily remembered fact!
