Word of mouth is important to a book's success. So, if you'd like to see the authors who wrote your favourite stories commissioned to write more, please keep talking about all the #books you love.

What Gareth said.

NOTHING sells books better than the enthusiasm of a friend or someone whose opinion you trust who has read it.

(Which is not to say that publishers should rely on it.)

My other half did the design for the play that @robinince.bsky.social came to on Saturday @arcolatheatre.bsky.social after he selected the interview the playwright did on Woman's Hour for his edition of Pick of the Week.

I hope that's clear.

‘One remembers not to give the Queen a thump of joyful friendliness’: Remembering Norman Parkinson — revolutionary fashion photographer and Cecil Beaton’s only homegrown rival

Cecil Beaton might be the toast of London right now, with a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, but contemporary Norman Parkinson was always hot on his heels.

I've often found that the law of diminishing returns applies to his work. I'm kind of glad that Adventures in the Rifle Brigade only got the two runs, the joke was already wearing thin.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015
