Embarrassingly I've made a Substack for the semi-occasional times I fancy bleating on about publishing, and my job.
The first post is on People and Publishing, and my thinking about how we weigh up the business side of the industry with its authors...

Right off the back of her inclusion in this year’s Global @Dazed 100 – *the* list of the buzziest names in culture right now – we are THRILLED that @ellen_atlanta's Pixel Flesh has been shortlisted for the 2024 Nero Award for Non-Fiction!

'A trial is rather like a play. We wear our costumes. We perform to the audience. And on a good day no-one gets murdered'
After a beheading live on stage, the drama in the smash-hit play Daughters of the Revolution, is left to play out in the courtroom...

Yesterday, I threw a party to launch @AppleTreeLit.
I’m *so* unbelievably proud of my incredible authors. So many of them turned out, each as glorious and talented as the next.
Working for them, empowering them as people not products, is everything I’ve wanted to build here.
Hugest congrats to my brilliant, brilliant agent, @OneChapterMore , launching his own agency @AppleTreeLit. Did his gesticulations with a dangerously full glass of fizz, it was chic and wonderful and jaunty!
Nah, that was just an excuse. Truth is that I knew that the sloths would miss you if you left. WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE SLOTHS? #RightsForSloths
(Seriously, you were very much missed!)

✍️ @khalida_popal
Khalida Popal is the founder and first captain of Afghanistan's women's football team. As a child, she fled Taliban rule with her family and grew up in a refugee camp in Pakistan. On her return to Afghanistan, football gave her and her teammates power, comradeship and freedom. But advocating for women's rights in sport put Popal's life increasingly at risk. This gripping memoir sheds light on the courage to fight in dark times.

In just over a week I’ll be in Amsterdam talking at G10 Festival. All the talks will be live-streamed, should the Netherlands be a bit of a stretch. It’s going to be a fascinating weekend. I’m honoured to be among these speakers. Hope you can join us!

So thrilled for Hannah Durkin, and her brilliant book SURVIVORS. Deservedly shortlisted for The HWA Non-Fiction Crown!
Survivors: Hannah Durkin
Impeccably researched, this book allows readers to hear the voices of the survivors of the slave ship, reminding all how recently this abhorrent trade was still operating. Deeply moving
