🍾Bit of a tongue twister this one! That moment when you’ve got a publisher must feel amazing…and Louisa Bello was certainly deserving of it after the long road to getting there. I’m not sure she expected it to end in a pub with @epoquepress.bsky.social

Scuse the clickbait headline which i didn't write, but the iPaper asked for some thoughts on the non-listing of Keshed despite huge public clamour. Actually a piece about diversity in publishing and advocating for small presses. This link sans paywall archive.is/QghKz inews.co.uk/culture/book...

Plenty thought my novel would make the list – it didn't. Here's why I don't give a toss

They deserve it, and use them as the exemplar of what so many others do too. @epoquepress.bsky.social have been knocking out brilliant stuff for years, for example, hence why they got namechecked. Sean's a top lad too, really *cares* and knows his shit inside out.
