In years past, this would be the weekend when our festival would be hosting all sorts of bookish fun with @UniofGreenwich & @orncgreenwich. It's not happening this year, but we will return!

All the congratulations (and champagne) to our friends at @GalleyBeggars for making the Booker Prize longlist again, this time for “After Sappho” by Selby Wynn Schwartz. We’re so happy for you! A much-deserved honour.

This is such sad news. The Costa Book Awards were a brilliant boost to authors, the book industry and book lovers (all the best people). We hope this isn't really the end, and that a new sponsor is found soon.

In 2017, Sarah Perry came to our festival to talk about her novel "The Essex Serpent." Read her essay on how it felt when the novel was turned into a mini-series for Apple TV with Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston. theguardian.com/books/2022/m…

Our friend @DapsDraws (GBF19) illustrated this year's absolutely stunning @booksaremybag tote. We love it and can't wait until we get to fill it with books in October.

Delighted that @moniqueroffey published by indie @peepaltreepress has won overall Costa for The Mermaid of Black Conch. I asked to review for @ST_Culture in the early summer and found it an immensely rewarding reading experience. Transporting...even when you’re stuck at home

First they said they needed data
about the children
to find out what they’re learning.
Then they said they needed data
about the children
to make sure they are learning.
Then the children only learnt
what could be turned into data.
Then the children became data.

This is a tough development for all authors and publishers - and small presses. Tabletops are heaving, review spaces are vanishingly rare - so if you do pick up a new book by an indie author, and love it, please make all the noise you can. It will help! theguardian.com/focus/2020/a…
