A really beautiful little edition of Charlotte Mew's posthumous poetry collection (in full) from @renardpress.bsky.social with a superb introduction by her biographer Julia Copus who edited the Faber selection. It's a delight all round - or all square, I should say. Very portable, very covetable.

Over the moon to see these, the second in our Haywood Books list. 😁 Welcome to Saltburn, a town on the English coast with sweeping poverty and nuclear fallout, where young lovers, radioactive and lusty, fall in love, and sea creatures work at the local penny arcade. haywoodbooks.com/saltburn

Lovely to be back at the big, bustling London Book Fair. This 🦊’s feet are already tired. 😂 Thrilled to have our first bookish presence this year – two shelves of goodies at our lovely distributor’s stand. (Central Books, 3B89, if you’re around…) 📚

📣 10% of sales at indie retailer @bookshop_org_uk this #IWD weekend go to @womensprize.bsky.social trust to widen access to women's writing. Buy a book for this cause & because reading is resistance. Delighted if it's TIME/LIFE from indie @renardpress.bsky.social uk.bookshop.org/p/books/time...

These numbered, limited Renard Press Editions are seriously beautiful. First time I’ve had my mitts on one. You just don’t get this level of care and attention to detail with the big houses. A privilege to be part of it. @renardpress.bsky.social

Last year Alexei Sayle & I discussed our sense of urgency about books we were writing. We also wondered: would there even be a world left to receive them? 36 days until my novel TIME/LIFE comes out & I'm really not sure. Nor it seems is @greatdismal.bsky.social catherinemayer.co.uk/book/time-li...

The Curae prize. It's been lovely to check on who's billingual (and beyond) in our #Curae prize entries this year because one thing which interests is me is to have some sections in different languages for shortlisted & winning writers. Let's see who makes it through @renardpress.bsky.social ? 💙📚

Publishing is forever looking ahead to the next trend, fad, Big Thing. It’s tiring, un-eco and overlooks the gems already in print. We’ve started a new big thing here, looking at one brilliant book per month from our backlist, starting with literary explorer @annmorgan.bsky.social 👇
