Welcome to the 20th #IndieBookshopWeek! @booksaremybag.bsky.social

What is your relationship to story? I think for me it's about being able to ask questions and live lots of different lives... Superb article, especially for any writers feeling ground down by the commercial nature of publishing 👇 www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-marketpl... #BookSky

Fab author duo at @maxminervas.bsky.social tonight - Charlotte Philby & @laurasrobinson.bsky.social discussing London as a character, hiding in plain sight, Georgian ice-cream & more! 🍦 #booksky #bristolbookshops

Followers can be distracting... Life can be a performance... Friendship can save you... 💙 Can't it? THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF LOVE is out now, available to order in all good bookshops! #thepeoplesrepublicoflove #summerreads #speculativethriller @srlpublishing.bsky.social @julieacrisp.bsky.social

Three books in which the protagonist slowly discovers he's in hell... 🔥 But is it literal or metaphorical... or just a journey into someone's mind? For more of this sort of thing, sign up to my newsletter PICARESQUE! www.heather-child.co.uk/newsletter #BookSky

I'm a Bristol-based author & enjoy meeting book clubs. For more info about author visits, get in touch! 👋 🌴 THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF LOVE - a dystopian read with two female leads - a shy tunnel engineer & a reality tv show star. #booksky @srlpublishing.bsky.social

Tickets still available for NEW WORLDS 2026: The Fantasy & Science-Fiction Weekend, where I'll be leading a workshop on making dystopia personal 👀 ➡ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-worlds... #dystopianfiction #writingworkshop #BookSky
