That’ll do for the week. I wish I could back to June of last year and tell myself not to split the chapters into stupidly small sections. It’s been very annoying to undo. Other than that, this edit is going well. I’m just over half way. There’ll be one more draft after this then I think it’s done.

Happy Valentine’s Day! No matter your romantic situation, we can all agree that a book makes a great present (for you, for your loved one). Oh look! A book! It looks good 👀 (there’s also a love story in it which means this Valentine’s Day marketing makes sense 😌)

The Mare by Angharad Hampshire has very quickly become our most successful book. A haunting and powerful true story about the reality of Nazi propaganda and the radicalisation of average people. Have you read Hermine Braunsteiner's story yet? The Mare: amzn.eu/d/g9KlhSB

#WhatIf..? An alternative version of you reaches out from across the multiverse? That's the premise of "Compatibility", published by @bsfa.bsky.social, Fission #4 #AShortHistoryoftheFuture #booklaunch #countdown #T-22 www.northodox.co.uk/product-page... @northodoxpress.bsky.social #sciencefiction

I have written a blog post about my most recent, exciting, publishing news! ruebaldry.wordpress.com/2025/02/12/n...

Should we start a new feature? Let us know about your work, and follow each other for support and encouragement #WritersLiftWednesday

🚨PREORDER ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Coming 10th April - Dark Unicorn. This is not the beautiful beast of legend. This is a vicious, killing monster that must devour one human per night, and one boy is tasked with sating its appetite. Who should decide who dies? www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

#AShortHistoryoftheFuture #booklaunch #countdown #T-23 brings the shortest title, "X X". As we close in on #Valentines (or Galentines) this one seems appropriate! #WhatIf..? You lift kisses from love letters to mend a broken heart? www.northodox.co.uk/product-page... @northodoxpress.bsky.social

Ted and Amy at the launch of Emma Whitehall's Clockwork Magpies 3 years ago today. And just after we've announced the preorder for the sequel, The Gilded Gear! Check it out this new northern steampunk adventure here: www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

Instead of throwing your money away on overpriced roses and teddies destined to gather dust this Valentine's, treat your loved one (or yourself!) to a new book 📖❤️ Whether you’re after messy love stories, explorations of the body or takedowns of the patriarchy, our NFA publishers have got you covered

Massive thank you to everyone who bought books by Catherine Wimpeney and Bryce Main at Stockport Noir on Saturday. We've loved seeing our books popping up in peoples' book haul pictures 😍

It’s Monday, which means I’m back on the editing train again. This is draft number 9 of the weird af 70ker about addiction and depression 🤘🏻 I’d describe it as Portal Fantasy on Acid - literally 🤣 #booksky

🚨PREORDER ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 THE MOMENT IS HERE... The sequel to one of our biggest books that we're always being asked for! The Gilded Gear by Emma Whitehall, sequel to Clockwork Magpies, is available for preorder now! Coming 28th August! www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...
