A great piece by @sarahshaffi.bsky.social in #VogueArabia for Faiqa Mansab's #TheSufiStoryteller @neemtreepress.bsky.social. Faiqa will be in London in May for the #KSLF and is available for interview. #TheSufiStoryteller drew me in and has not let me go. 💜 www.voguearabia.com/article/faiq...

A great thread on what traditional publishing offers, why you might want to self-publish, and what you should be aware of if you’re paying money for publishing services.

I put proofs out on the wall regularly, and today I got this lovely note…
An envelope that says “To whoever puts the lovely free books out - a small note of appreciation.”A notecard that says: “Hello, I am writing to say thank you for all the free books that you have put on to the wall over the last few years. I moved in to [blanked out] 3 years ago and was delighted with the enrichment my library has received since then. Fantasy is my favourite gent to read and I really like how the selection I got from you has broadened my worldview as suddenly I was steeped in fantasy not just from medieval Europe, but also”Photo of a note continuing the message from the previous image, saying: “parts of Africa, the Caribbean, Ireland and fairy tales with a Middle Eastern twist. A lot of these stories have become new favourites, and I especially like that I would have not just easily found them on a shelf in the library. All in all, I wanted to express my gratitude to you, and wish you and your family all the best. Thank you again [blanked out]. Ps. I apologise for my horrendous handwriting, I don’t write many letters anymore and am out of practice.

The (mostly) 2025 bookshelves are looking cute, and full of lots of books I’m looking forward to reading. Anything catch your attention?
