Headed to London for my last day at @vintagebooks HQ and everyone is in such a good mood.

The taxi driver sang all the way to Piccadilly, the lady in Pret called me dolly and wished me ‘a beautiful day’ and the train announcer just called us all ‘lovely little cupcakes’

@CMiscellany @vintagebooks @WarChildUK Thanks love! I’m very excited. Hope all’s good with you

[Sophie Painter @sophpainter]

I am sad to say that I’m leaving @vintagebooks in a few weeks to start an exciting new chapter at @WarChildUK.
But this means that someone else gets a chance to do (in my humble opinion!) the best job in publishing. I’m very happy to answer any questions anyone has

[Vintage Books @vintagebooks]

Are you a brilliant communicator with the drive and vision to create and deliver industry-leading campaigns in the commercial fiction space?

Vintage are looking for a strategic and creative marketer to join a team of twelve.

Looking forward to chatting about brand-building with this knowledgable lot tomorrow at #MPCONF23 Now deeply regretting not buying a Rick Astley-inspired powder blue suit for the occasion

So thrilled for @TomCrewe1 to see his phenomenal debut novel The New Life being recognised by a whole host of shortlistings & awards!

The winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2023 is THE NEW LIFE by Tom Crewe (@TomCrewe1), published by @ChattoBooks, which explores sexual identities in 1890s London with great compassion, lucidity and poise.
