It’s #NationalPoetryDay. So why not buy a copy of my new book, which combines my own reportage from conflict zones with selected poems? If you thought war poetry was all by the Great War soldier-poets, think again. There are so many great women war poets from across the globe.

Grinning like a kid on his birthday at receiving my first copies of The Laws of Connection! Thanks so much to the team at @canongatebooks, and @PlittyC for having brought this into reality.
I can’t wait to share it with you all in the first week of June!

This one is going to be special. Ọrẹ is the perfect author for the fascinating, beautiful, mostly untold story of Nigerians in Britain.

A joy to be back with the @MerkyBooks team who completely got my vision for this from the get-go. Can’t wait to share all these stories with you 🇳🇬🇬🇧❤️

After 10 wonderful years, we're ending @LitFriction in December. It's been a true joy to podcast with my dear friend and co-host @octaviabright_ for a decade, and I'm really going to miss it! Thank you to everyone who has helped make it happen, especially our incredible listeners

Minisode 45 is out - in which we return to the theme of friendship (ours & in general). We also make a pretty big announcement: after 10 wonderful years of LF, our Year in Review show this December will be our last. (1/2)

A COLD SPELL by Max Leonard is out today. It's a delightful, impeccably researched and fascinating history of ice. It also makes the perfect holiday gift. See Max's thread for a taster...

Yikes, my book A COLD SPELL: A HUMAN HISTORY is out in two days and it feels like I’ve barely talked about it yet!
I’m going to post a thread of pictures of some of my favourite bits.
Also, don’t forget I’ll be talking @StanfordsTravel on Weds 15 Nov..

Reading and interviewing @NaomiAKlein was a joy, and it gave me a new vocabulary for the moment we're living through. She had so many interesting things to say about doppelgangers, diagonalism, the art of storytelling, conspiracy, the state of the left... the list goes on.
9 Oct 2023
Our episode with @NaomiAKlein is ready wherever you listen - we really loved talking to Naomi about Doppelganger, the allure & perils of mirror worlds, the wellness to far right pipeline, conspiracy theories & much more. Plus all the usual recs - enjoy! 💜

And just how wonderful is this cover for FILTERWORLD, designed by the great Oliver Munday? So happy to be working with Kyle, @CarolineMEisen and @PlittyC in bringing this out in the UK. Coming Jan 24 - and available for pre-order now.
17 Jul 2023
I couldn't be more excited to share the cover of @chaykak's FILTERWORLD, out from @doubledaybooks in Jan 2024. A hugely revelatory look into how algorithms shape not just what culture we consume, but what culture is produced-- and the unsettling empty sameness that results

Congrats @lottelydia!! A brilliant, smart and thought-provoking book and we’re so proud to be your publisher 🎉
24 Aug 2023
Happy publication day to @lottelydia's IMPERIAL ISLAND!
This book shows how the end of empire and its ever-present aftermath have divided and defined Britain over the last seventy years.
