Oooooooh new subscription alert. So pretty 🤩 and full of good stuff. It’s been a week - so looking forward to sitting down with this later 🍷 📖 @BackstoryLdn
Such a joy to see our @BackstoryLdn magazine in the wild today at Foyles Charing Cross, Waterstones Piccadilly and Hatchard’s - thanks so much to ace art director @darioverrengia, all our great writers and the lovely booksellers getting it into readers’ hands
If you see stories on the 2024 Proms, that's because the official guide is out today! Alongside Kes, a new title as part of the BFI film studies series with images throughout. And a new books magazine from @BackstoryLdn and @tomjrowley, Backstory.
I haven’t been able to put down this gorgeous books mag from @BackstoryLdn all evening. Among other things, it has taught me a lot about BookTok. Congratulations @tomjrowley
Massive shoutout to our ace art director @darioverrengia, so talented and so zen (except when he texted about an early draft of cover art: ‘is this A BIT pigeon?’ 😂)

Our Backstory mag is in the wild! Here it is in Waterstones @gowerst_books (thanks to Delme for the pic and encouragement)
Happy David Nicholls day to all who celebrate. (We @BackstoryLdn very much do.)
A riveting evening @BackstoryLdn listening to @BowenBBC talk about #TheMakingoftheModernMiddleEast, mostly, unsurprisingly, about the unremittingly grim war between Israel and Gaza. #proudandluckypublisher
I’m one of them and it’s well worth it and in the true spirit of the publishing industry they even threw in a tote bag

I’ve still yet to find a more perfect combination for the reader of the languid and the rigorous. Always a weekend papers fanboy, esp FT Weekend and Sunday Times
FT weekend is such a great paper. Always enjoy it, but Mark Mazower, on the Colombia protests and @janinegibson having lunch with the Pet Shop Boys made this one particularly good.
"Truss, 48," is delightful

@tomjrowley I’ve done book selling, genuinely don’t think he could hack it. Imagine him in the stock room dealing with the returns or working out the offers. Or being personable with the customers. Nah, can’t see it at all.
If you see stories on the 2024 Proms, that's because the official guide is out today! Alongside Kes, a new title as part of the BFI film studies series with images throughout. And a new books magazine from @BackstoryLdn and @tomjrowley, Backstory.
A joy!
We are so proud that Anne Enright's The Wren, The Wren and Isabella Hammad's Enter Ghost have been shortlisted for The @WomensPrize for Fiction 2024. 'The six spellbinding novels that make up the shortlist capture between their pages the enormous breadth of the human experience'
"Have you got Machiavelli's The Little Prince?"
She also didn't hold office on St Andrew's Day, St David's Day, St Patrick's Day, St Swithin's Day, Valentine's Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Bonfire Night or Shark Week. She did, however, lead the nation on September 19th 2022 (Talk Like a Pirate Day).
Liz Truss is the sole UK Prime Minister since 1900 to never hold office on St George's Day, as her tenure was Sept - Oct 2022.
I'M IN THIS! (The magazine, not Waterstones. Or Tom's shirt. The magazine. The one he's holding.)
Our Backstory mag is in the wild! Here it is in Waterstones @gowerst_books (thanks to Delme for the pic and encouragement)

@BackstoryLdn @BowenBBC It was the best night and though I am obviously biased he was terrific.
A riveting evening @BackstoryLdn listening to @BowenBBC talk about #TheMakingoftheModernMiddleEast, mostly, unsurprisingly, about the unremittingly grim war between Israel and Gaza. #proudandluckypublisher
I went to a very literary birthday party last night and seated in the corner unable to chat to all the standing guests, I spotted 90 year old Michael Frayn. So on the basis that I would always regret it if I didn’t grab this opportunity, I pulled up a chair and introduced myself.
I’m one of them and it’s well worth it and in the true spirit of the publishing industry they even threw in a tote bag
Wow! 274 people have subscribed to our gorgeous new books mag @BackstoryLdn since Sunday. Join them for £13 a year — and use code IWASHEREFIRST for 10% off backstory.london/products/subsc…
I have a piece in the new @LRB on Chris Bryant’s book about James Pratt and John Smith, the last two men to be executed for sodomy in Britain, and more broadly, about homosexuality and the law between the 18th century and legalisation in 1967. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…
I’ll be on @BBCBreakfast tomorrow at 7:10am with Richard Warwick @CampaignTB talking about Treloar’s, Factor VIII and infected blood. 👇 My new paperback’s out on May 16
This is super exciting!
