‘Feeling responsible for a book’s success can be overwhelming. You can’t control work anxiety but you can control how you respond to it. Keep a folder of nice things people have said - this can make a huge difference.’ Great takeaways from this essential panel 💪#MPconf

‘As a team leader are you preventing stress or are you just letting it happen and then dealing with the fallout? Think about your people.’ Great questions from Vicki Watson #mpconf

This panel was so articulate, thoughtful, pragmatic and kind. The first discussion I’ve seen presented that actually made me think publishing is moving positively forward in its boundaries processes. Bravo, panellists! Amazing work 💚🥰

Flapping our arms like birds, sex brainstorms in hotels, working within creative constraints and the inspiration of pizza express dough balls. Exceptional creative panel with Vicky Palmer Hayley Camis Molly Flatt & a neuroscientist in the #Mpconf afternoon slot 🙌

I love this from @nicholsonslater! While this is definitely a brilliant way for publishers to market books, we are frontline when it comes to customers buying books, it’s also incredible for booksellers!
