Hey scribblers!

We don't often run events in London because of train Β£ - and this festival unfortunately leaves all marketing to its authors and publishers - so if you are wanting to join us in Camden Sun 15th, could you adv book so we can assess if to go ahead?

Take a look inside last week’s book swap with House of Books and Friends!

Our Pal-entines event saw readers from across Manchester connecting over a shared love of books, bringing their own favourite reads to share with new friends - and picking up some new choices from our own books!

As our international recognition grows, so do our fellowship scholarships increase. In 2025 Isabelle Kenyon gave lectures and was a fellow at Interliber Book Fair, Croatia, Jaipur Literature Festival, India and Riga, Latvia.
