It’s #NationalPoetryDay. So why not buy a copy of my new book, which combines my own reportage from conflict zones with selected poems? If you thought war poetry was all by the Great War soldier-poets, think again. There are so many great women war poets from across the globe.

Delighted that @pbsnewshour featured my new book ‘I Brought the War with Me,’ Lindsey Hilsum shares poetry inspired by the front lines. pbs.org/newshour/show/in-i-b…

Today’s @ObsNewReview features an extract from my new book about war and the consolation of poetry - published by @ChattoBooks @vintagebooks on September 19th. ‘Those in power write the history; those who suffer write the songs’. theguardian.com/books/articl…
I Brought the War With Me by @lindseyhilsum is out in one month. It's one of the most powerful and moving books that I have worked on.
My book ‘I Brought The War With Me; stories and poems from the Front Line’ is published by @ChattoBooks one month from today. Video by @JoshHoNews
Very proud to represent @lottelydia whose masterful, revealing, fascinating IMPERIAL ISLAND is out in paperback now (with very appealing pink type)

Grinning like a kid on his birthday at receiving my first copies of The Laws of Connection! Thanks so much to the team at @canongatebooks, and @PlittyC for having brought this into reality.
I can’t wait to share it with you all in the first week of June! – at Paddington, London
This one is going to be special. Ọrẹ is the perfect author for the fascinating, beautiful, mostly untold story of Nigerians in Britain.
*some personal news* I am writing another book!
A joy to be back with the @MerkyBooks team who completely got my vision for this from the get-go. Can’t wait to share all these stories with you 🇳🇬🇬🇧❤️
SO excited about this one. @zakiasewell is a true talent, and I can't wait to continue this wonderful, weird, pagan journey with her.

After 10 wonderful years, we're ending @LitFriction in December. It's been a true joy to podcast with my dear friend and co-host @octaviabright_ for a decade, and I'm really going to miss it! Thank you to everyone who has helped make it happen, especially our incredible listeners
A COLD SPELL by Max Leonard is out today. It's a delightful, impeccably researched and fascinating history of ice. It also makes the perfect holiday gift. See Max's thread for a taster...
Yikes, my book A COLD SPELL: A HUMAN HISTORY is out in two days and it feels like I’ve barely talked about it yet!
I’m going to post a thread of pictures of some of my favourite bits.
Also, don’t forget I’ll be talking @StanfordsTravel on Weds 15 Nov..

Thrilled to see two of my wonderful authors, @sixteenthCgirl and @NicolaRollock, on the judging panel for the new and much needed Women's Prize for Non-Fiction.
What kind of reader are you? 📖
Are you voracious… speedy… detailed… or just plain greedy?
We are thrilled to introduce you to our 2024 #WomensPrize judges. Head over to our new look 👀 website and find out what kind of readers they are: womensprize.com
Reading and interviewing @NaomiAKlein was a joy, and it gave me a new vocabulary for the moment we're living through. She had so many interesting things to say about doppelgangers, diagonalism, the art of storytelling, conspiracy, the state of the left... the list goes on.
Our episode with @NaomiAKlein is ready wherever you listen - we really loved talking to Naomi about Doppelganger, the allure & perils of mirror worlds, the wellness to far right pipeline, conspiracy theories & much more. Plus all the usual recs - enjoy! 💜

And just how wonderful is this cover for FILTERWORLD, designed by the great Oliver Munday? So happy to be working with Kyle, @CarolineMEisen and @PlittyC in bringing this out in the UK. Coming Jan 24 - and available for pre-order now.
I couldn't be more excited to share the cover of @chaykak's FILTERWORLD, out from @doubledaybooks in Jan 2024. A hugely revelatory look into how algorithms shape not just what culture we consume, but what culture is produced-- and the unsettling empty sameness that results

An absolutely fascinating article by @d_a_robson
My new piece for @ObsNewReview examines the “foreign language effect” in thinking. Very much enjoyed writing this one! theguardian.com/science/2023…
Wonderful to see @camillalnord launching her book THE BALANCED BRAIN tonight at @heffersbookshop in Cambridge. This is the book that will make you understand the science of mental health, and make you hopeful about the ways we can feel better.
Lovely to see this first review of @camillalnord's THE BALANCED BRAIN (it's a rave!). Out next week.
🧠 Thank you to @theipaper for their review of THE BALANCED BRAIN 🧠
‘Rigorous, engagingly personal . . . provides an exciting snapshot of what we know so far about this vital organ’s importance for maintaining our mental health’

Congrats @lottelydia!! A brilliant, smart and thought-provoking book and we’re so proud to be your publisher 🎉
Happy publication day to @lottelydia's IMPERIAL ISLAND!
This book shows how the end of empire and its ever-present aftermath have divided and defined Britain over the last seventy years.
