always a joy to collaborate with @nicallansound who's made the soundscape sequence really immersive and gorgeous to listen to

Huge congrats @18CenturyScobie & @VictorianCeleb 👏 Thanks for involving me in this fascinating ensemble & for all the hard work. Excited to turn the pages! Thx again @PaulBurston for supporting my research @polarisalon 🌈 #literaryactivism #culturalvalue @UniOfExeterHASS

I’ve been thinking a lot about humans as animals & interconnectedness — Daisy Hildyard writes phenomenally about this in her novel Emergency @FitzcarraldoEds and I’m v excited to interview her tomo @explodingbakery #exeter as part of @TheLitPlatform fest @UniOfExeterHASS 📚🍷

@L_Macdougall @thebookseller @UnitedAgents @UA_Books 🌟 hooray!
