.We'll be publishing Jim Gibson #TheBygones later this month. Former #Booker winner DBC Pierre said of this debut story collection "The Bygones is so present and bright you can feel it underfoot." #JimGibson #DBCPierre @ariannareiche #JuliaSoboleva #Nottingham

.And whilst we're on blurb's for #TheBygones, @ariannareiche whose debut novel is due out on Atria Books Simon & Schuster next year said: "The Bygones is an electric debut collection, and a spellbinding departure from the norm." We published her in '21 = a real talent

The feedback for The Bygones has been unbelievable. DBC Pierre is a writer whose work has always inspired me so the fact that he read my book and enjoyed it is really mindboggling. Thanks also to @ariannareiche for the great review, I look forward to reading your novel next year.

Got my author copies through from Tangerine Press yesterday. I can't express how grateful and excited I am to have this collection out in the world. My advice is to keep sticking to your own thing and don't give a fuck what everyone else is doing.

Here's the upbeat, non-posey version. The 'Look at me books, I bet you wanna read one, don't ya' pictures. I bet you do though. Go on. Treat yer sen.

The Bygones official trailer. Tell me that this don't tickle your fancy. Launch night/party next Saturday (29th), Chameleon Arts Cafe, Notts, 6pm onwards!

"a terrific new, first collection of short fiction which grips you from the start in an almost visceral way" .Peter Wild review of Jim Gibson THE BYGONES = bookmunch.wordpress.com/2022/11/04/a-t… Hi Vis Press

Stumbled upon this LeftLion Magazine Nottingham review of Hi Vis Press Low Light Magazine and the classic launch nights we were famous for. So proud of what we achieved with Hi Vis over the years. It truly was an alternative to the often mundane literary norm. leftlion.co.uk/read/2017/nove…

BOOK GIVEAWAY I'm doing a (sort of) raffle where the winner will get a paperback copy of The Bygones. All you have to do is guess what page I'll be at in my current read by 9pm tomorrow and the closest to the correct page will win a book. Details below 👇

A Symbol of a Memory, single story, out now on Nightjar Press. £3, signed and numbered, only 200 copies in existence. Bargain. The story is an exploration into an act of self-immolation and the perception of the event from different perspectives. That's what I've heard, anyway.
