Book news! Thanks @CallumMichaelK @EuanThorneycrof and the heap of people who kept me going with this one. A long time coming but will be worth the wait! Weβre all gonna need a bigger boat π¦ #TheSharkBook #TheSharkiscomingMarch2026 In @thebookseller here thebookseller.com/rights/little-β¦
Thanks to a good mate, I finally have my @GoldsboroBooks special edition copy of The Art Of the Lie by @LauraSRobinson Not only is this a truly beautiful edition, but in my humble opinion this is Lauraβs best book yet!
Happy to continue acquiring and publishing brilliant fiction at Sphere, with colleagues I love dearly. After almost exactly a decade in publishing - moving from Leeds to London the weekend after getting a job offer, and knowing very little about anything - this is a cool moment.
Sphere has announced promotions across its editorial teams, with Cal Kenny and Molly Walker-Sharp both stepping up to editorial director, Sphere Fiction, and Tig Wallace promoted to publishing director, Sphere Non-Fiction. π ebx.sh/qHca9h

I genuinely screamed when I opened my #bookpost this morning. Thank you to @katherinecrime and @stuartneville for sending this gorgeous hardback. Blood Like Mine was my most recommended book last year. Can't wait to sink my teeth into Blood Like Ours - see what I did there?! π§ββοΈ
In midst of fab @HarrogateFest #TheakstonsCrime, I got a lovely message: MΔori storyteller @MBennettBooks won a 2025 NZ Book Industry Award for Best Audiobook. A @valmcdermid New Blood alumnus, Michael's a terrific writer, great guy, and much-needed indigenous #OwnVoices in genre
A quartet of Aussie & Kiwi crimelovers in famed beer tent at @HarrogateFest #theakstonscrime in UK over the weekend. Great to see some ANZ flavour, onstage and off, at one of the world's biggest & best book festivals. @writerJJohnson @hammerNow @emstylesauthor @craigsisterson
Great to see @kate_kemp bringing an antipodean touch to the hugely popular Critics' New Blood panel at @HarrogateFest #TheakstonsCrime in the UK over the weekend. Kate joins the likes of fellow ANZ authors @hammerNow, @emstylesauthor, and @MBennettBooks as New Blood alumni.
Itβs high noon for the Criticsβ New Blood panel, featuring @SpacemanDan13 AE Goldin @kate_kemp and @RobBurnett, with Mick Herron as chair. #TheakstonsCrime
Home! Thanks heaps @sharoncanavar, Mick Herron, the @HarrogateFest team and everyone I hung out with. Shout out to @craigsisterson for being a good mate and because the #Harrogate photo is his. Canβt wait to do it all again next year when I WILL FINALLY HAVE ANOTHER BOOK OUT ππ¦
Kate Atkinson & @LeeChildReacher, a genius pairing. Both pantsers (who knew?) both love nothing better than to write the perfect sentence, both write beloved series characters. My fave titles #BadLuckAndTrouble #WhenWillThereBeGoodNews are uncannily complementary #TheakstonsCrime
Another Saturday highlight chaired by @sarah_hilary: @robparkerauthor @TariqAshkanani @SimonMasonbooks & Snaebjorn Arngrimsson on the troubled people at the heart of their novels, and the searcher in one way or another being a missing person themselves⦠#TheakstonsCrime
Great to see Aussie debut author Kate Kemp, who I got to chair at @CapitalCrime1, being highlighted in bookshop and on this yearβs #TheakstonsCrime New Blood panel. Fab to see Belinda Bauer, @LauraSRobinson, DV Bishop and many other cool people throughout Friday arvo/eve
The big green chair interviews with @craigsisterson in the sunshine (after a running jump to get up there) @HarrogateFest #TheakstonsCrime
If youβre at #TheakstonsCrime this weekend look out for the wonderful @kate_kemp on the New Blood panel today!
Blistering start to Friday at #TheakstonsCrime (& Craig took much better pictures) @MattNixson interviews @atticalocke, timely and fearless on writing from the margins, making the ineffable effable, and asking, What do we morally believe as a people? What do we want to protect?
Brilliant start to the panels programme at #TheakstonsCrime as Featured Guest @atticalocke is interviewed by @MattNixson. @CrimeWoC
Today, free, and an excellent start to the weekend. 4pm but get there early⦠#harrogate #natb
Hope you can join us at @BluesCafeBar on Thurs 17 July from 4pm. Free entry! Spread the word. #amreading #amwriting #harrogate
On my way #TheakstonsCrime. Phew, because I donβt have enough Kate Atkinson books. Some truly awesome panels this weekend. The weather seems to have changed since I set off so Iβll be the one wearing sunglasses in the rain. Look forward to seeing you all soon! #harrogate
