Appalling to find another international publishing house we'd respected let standards plummet by publishing a moribund, bourgeois Mancunian author. Twice now, in a matter of weeks. Editorial standards? Perhaps they're fulfilling an Arts Council quota or the like

We've got 3 ms we're keen on editing & publishing, but still lack a dedicated sales/repping team. Stasis & search will go on until we find one.

Our initial 3 titles were well received with national & international press & praise from contemporaries. Reflected with utter disinterest from our reps

The US editions' ending of 'A Clockwork Orange' renders the fable hugely bleak. They'd do well to revert to the British version. And ultimately realise its historical context & ingenuity.

Wasn't 'Wicked' pulled because it not a YA text? Haven't read it.

No book should be 'banned' obvs.

One for the lolz for any publishers from without the 'big five'.

The least flexible and responsive industry imaginable.

Let's all do tertiary-sourced artists books / glorified nostalgic flick books... and whatever happens, do not mention the original artists. 2026, thems the rules

Decent (as in functioning) alternatives to Google Search please?

Not Bing. Not Yandex. Not DDG. Not Ecosia.

We see the Wuthering Heights (book) backlash is afoot. Whoppers

Equidistant between Literary Writers & Editors and Queer Taylor Swift fans. Which is as it should be

Knut Hamsun/Goebbels comes to mind with the news of Trump being gifted the Nobel by Machado.

Extremely disappointing for a bookshop we've always bigged up, to avoid paying an invoice for months. Especially as the proprietor's just had two weeks in the Caribbean and splashed it all over Insta
