My head’s still buzzing from Inside Book Publishing at #FleetStreetLitFest! Diane Banks & Martin Redfern gave brilliant insights into getting from idea to print. Big thanks to @FleetStQuarter — what an inspiring session!

Hey #earlymodern #skystorians! If you are not normally UK-based but are planning to be in the UK in the coming academic year: let us know!
