Happy July reading readers. My @PrimaMag picks this month and there are some great ones! Thank you @lisajewelluk @niccicloke @watsoncomedian Peter Swanson @jopiazza Hattie Williams @eleanorraybooks Adam Roberts some summer reading recommendations feat

Today I interviewed @alisonbarrow for The Honest Editor. She gave amazing insights into life as a PR Director at @TransworldBooks and you can read for free here: honesteditor.substack.com

Loved doing this interview with @Phoebe_A_Morgan about my job as a book publicist. Really made me think again so much about the role we play in connecting writers and readers. And I share the BEST things about the job. And the HARDEST... ❤️📚

Why send an email with a question about a possible review if in less than two hours later when I’ve replied it says that person is on annual leave until ‘x’ date? 🤔 😂😂

So delighted to see this for #seethestars

Hi bookpost! I keep expecting a sackful of proofs as post has been light this month…#BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor

Life has been lifeing recently so haven’t posted any bookpost for yonks. This is what has arrived so far in July. Loving seeing the 2026 books rolling in, always get excited when the next years offerings start appearing ❤️📚📚📚

Thank you to the lovely bunch at #PanMacmillanKids for this beautiful box of children’s books, food for thought for a Christmas gift guide.

Why it is important to always be kind.

Ooh 👀👀👀

Okay my lovelies, #WatchingYou is out on August 28, and I wouldn't lie to you, it's actually a pretty darned good book. But because I don't have Richard Osman's marketing budget, Louise Minchin's TV platform, Richard Coles' publicist or any other celebrity writer's stranglehold…

I'm hiring! 🚨 We're looking for a Publicity Manager to join our team @EburyPublishing working on prizewinning, bestselling non-fiction across literary memoir, nature-writing, politics, history and business and high performance. More info 👇jobsearch.createyourowncareer.com/PRH_UK/job/Lon…

Stuck for holiday reading? @StylistMagazine asked 33 authors for their reccos (new and old) and - thanks to them - I've already found one of my favourite books of the year, Permission. Here's the piece - thanks for all your help. It's brilliant! stylist.co.uk/books/best-bea…

I have filed my @PrimaMag October book pages (September publications) 🎉🎉🎉 and only a day later than my deadline this month. Now to see what fiction delights I have for October, I have a few I definitely want to have a look at so it’s first page reading for me tonight!

I know that book prices have increased but I’ve just seen a fiction hardback publishing in September priced at £30!!! I know some places can discount this but still 😬 Would you pay this?
