Thanks to everyone who joined our sold-out book launch at The Frontline Club! Ex-BBC @jmacrodgers.bsky.social Ex-CNN @arwadamon.bsky.social & so many others who joined us to discuss the new censorship, rising authoritarianism & the horrors in Gaza. It was an intensive, inspiring urgent conversation

In publishing we are still not equal.

Did you know, last year, that only 8% of the top 50 business books in the UK were written by women? It's clear that we are still not presenting female authors as the experts, thought leaders and changemakers they are.
The result?
