A big thank you to everyone who made the amazing gathering and happening that was the @SmallPublishers 2024, esp @tothefields and all her team. Such a lot of planning, coordination & vision goes into the fair. So important for the small publishing community. Thank you! 🙏 💛

As part of @SmallPublishers 2024, and in a late change to the advertised programme, I'll be reading in The Green Room (at the rear of the Conway Hall) at 3.30pm on Friday. Full listings for the Fair's readings and talks on Friday and Saturday: smallpublishersfair.co.uk/readings-2024/

In time for @smallpublishers! ANOTHER LINE (2024) on extra light Xuan paper. Fluctuating lines on maps, textiles and in poetry. Typewritten visual poetry, digital print, hand bound.

From the quiet of my Norwich office to London for @SmallPublishers

@smizz I wept while watching. So emotional! I lived through thatcher et al, and thought nothing could be worse, and living through this last lot was, and today (yes, I know it's not perfect), is like a huge weight has been lifted. Xxx

Gosh, Starmer’s speech was spot on. It’s already a huge signal that we finally have some grown ups back in charge. Loved this quote: “Service is a precondition of hope 💜” Yes! It’s so right. To entering the sunlight of hope! It certainly is here in Yorkshire!

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

My mother never advised me how to vote, but I learned, from her, the importance of the vote, that it was a path to hope, always, whether long, short, narrow or winding. She died last year: this is the 1st general election since 1955 without her 'X'. If you can, please vote today.

@marymuir310 @NatGalleriesSco @WhitworthArt Fantastic! Thank you. A good excuse to hit the north!

@tothefields @NatGalleriesSco Hi Helen - yes and it’s touring to @WhitworthArt from March next year. X

@michaelscaines Such a beautiful book, and these places have changed so little.

my next book.. has to be placed on the Broads, with all those rivers, and hiding places in the dykes, and the little stretches of open water.. But, as usual, though I have five youthful characters and one old lady, I haven’t a glimmering of a plot. – Arthur Ransome, Dec 1 1933

Such a talent this woman.

Our books are well-constructed, good and useful things, and if you buy one, it will enable us to make more. Recent titles include Angelina D'Roza's 'The Blue Hour', Rob Hindle's 'Sapo', and Nancy Gaffield's 'Wealden'. You can order them here: longbarrowpress.com/current-public…

@marymuir310 @SmallPublishers @ConwayHall Only just read this Mary. Thank you. It was so special to have you there!

An absolute joy to visit @SmallPublishers for the first time yesterday. A wonderful showcase + celebration of small press publishing from across the UK + beyond, expertly curated by @tothefields. The soundscape was music in itself! @ConwayHall #support #smallpresspublishing
