So @shawliterary turns 5 today! Nothing's quite so satisfying as helping a book go out into the world, & I've been blessed to have been a reader of so much amazing work. Tx to all for making it so much fun: authors, publishers, lit citizens. Another 5 maybe?

Shocked, thrilled, stunned, confounded - somehow I made it to the shortlist. Huge thanks to the judges and the lovely folks at @OverlandJournal

I too wish to leave Twitter. Not that I was ever a supporter of Musk however my indifference has given way to contempt. However where to go? I enjoy Ennius and am intrigued by what is happening at the Warburg. Even Edith Hall is interesting . 😊So? Any answers?

Late to @CallMeSipo, but what a line to have dug up: “it’s in the giving of lit prizes that the cult of the middlebrow seems now to have established itself”! I can see it both ways: the NP must be tons of work,+all 3 pubs have to agree!meanjin.com.au/books/how-nove…

First, @CallMeSipo on Anne de Marcken's IT LASTS FOREVER AND THEN IT'S OVER and Jonathan Buckley's TELL: "[...] they are also somewhat safe choices—‘safe’ in the sense they were bound to find a wide audience without the spotlight of a prominent prize." meanjin.com.au/books/how-nove…

My latest in @Meanjin - calling for literary prizes to go to more ambitious and difficult books
Huge thanks to @mxcreant for comissioning and helping whip this one into shape!

In today's back-from-hiatus essay @CallMeSipo reflects on the posthumous legacy of Vivian Maier and on the possibility of making her work "available to everyone, away from the necromantic urges of capital accumulation at the expense of a dead artist." overland.org.au/2024/11/art-an…

@thebooksdesk @strangelight_ @Coffee_House_ @PipAdam People need to stop sleeping on Pip's writing!!

@CallMeSipo @strangelight_ @Coffee_House_ good question! I know one excellent US publisher was pretty interested in it at one stage. But I'm banking on the good folk at the aforementioned houses reissuing all @pipadam's work sometime in the future! (& I know what you mean: what a world in that book!)

Well there's at least one Antipodean novel going to rock the US of A/Canada next year... (via @strangelight_ / @Coffee_House_) coffeehousepress.org/products/audit…
