I came across this fab feature earlier today. So much of it rings true. lnkd.in/eiHDZkT8

As a result readers may lose out on innovation, depth& the unexpected. Thoughts? #writingcommunity

Proud to speak for Libraro at the Dublin International Writers Festival about safe discoverability for writers & new data-backed voices for publishers. Such a wonderful, supportive community- indicative of Irish President’s Michael D. Higgins comments on #CultureNight

I work with Libraro because I truly believe the way we tell and publish stories is changing and this groundbreaking platform is at the forefront of making it happen. Safe discoverability, protected IP + the democratisation of stories. Download Parminder's interview here: mailchi.mp/libraro/57sz...

My own adventure of course was getting back to Kent, despite the tube strike seems quite tame in comparison.
