spinach gnocchi, swimming in a fish ragù, or a good recipe when the body is fatigued but the mind is restless. few steps to follow but a long simmer for the ragù, and a play dough date with the gnocchi. soothing, easing, rewarding.

congratulations to the brilliant and passionate agent Maddalena Cavaciuti! lucky, lucky authors.

We have a moral duty as book workers - from writers to booksellers to agents - to call on Baillie Gifford to divest now.

Divestment is not abstract. It's a question of people's homes, livelihoods, lives, and in the case of Israeli occupation & genocide, of international law. >

For books to change the world, they must have a voice. We must divest and rebuild a publishing industry free from fossil fuels, genocide and colonial violence. It starts with speaking up, and you can add your name to ours Fossil Free Books.
