A big thank you to everyone who made the amazing gathering and happening that was the @SmallPublishers 2024, esp @tothefields and all her team. Such a lot of planning, coordination & vision goes into the fair. So important for the small publishing community. Thank you! 🙏 💛

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

[Longbarrow Press @LongbarrowPress]

My mother never advised me how to vote, but I learned, from her, the importance of the vote, that it was a path to hope, always, whether long, short, narrow or winding. She died last year: this is the 1st general election since 1955 without her 'X'. If you can, please vote today.

@marymuir310 @NatGalleriesSco @WhitworthArt Fantastic! Thank you. A good excuse to hit the north!

[Emma Bolland @emmaZbolland]

Looking forward to co-queering the @intergraphiabks stall with @rachelartsmith tomorrow. And... we'll be performing as part of BananaramaArtWriting at 3pm. A fun day out for those parts of families who don't vote Reform and aren't utter bell-ends.

[Longbarrow Press @LongbarrowPress]

Join us for the @StatesofIndie 1-day festival & book fair in Leicester tomorrow (Sat 8 June). Longbarrow Press & @intergraphiabks will be among the stallholders, and there's a varied - and free - programme of talks & events. Clephan Building, LE1 5XY, 10am-4pm, free, all welcome

@michaelscaines Such a beautiful book, and these places have changed so little.

[Helen Mitchell @tothefields]

Such a talent this woman.

@marymuir310 @SmallPublishers @ConwayHall Only just read this Mary. Thank you. It was so special to have you there!

[Mary Muir @marymuir310]

An absolute joy to visit @SmallPublishers for the first time yesterday. A wonderful showcase + celebration of small press publishing from across the UK + beyond, expertly curated by @tothefields. The soundscape was music in itself! @ConwayHall #support #smallpresspublishing
