We have some INCREDIBLE news!

The Four by Ellie Keel is an instant Sunday Times bestseller 🎉

Thank you to all of the readers, booksellers and content creators who have supported this brilliant debut 🖤🩷🖤

One really fun thing about working in the News Building is it exists in a special wind tunnel that means no matter how much effort you put into your hair in the morning, you will look like you’ve been dragged through a hedge by the time you reach your desk.

I swore off twitter a year ago but...

The righteous outrage around the cancellation of the Aye Write festival is not merely a conversation about the merit of literary festivals, or whether Scotland’s first city deserves one. It is much, much bigger than that...

Hurrah! Delighted to see #ILoveYouILoveYouILoveYou by #LauraDockrill was selected by The Bookseller as One to Watch!
