It’s been a joy to work with Colm Tóibín on our latest book - a brand new edition of Washington Square by Henry James. I can’t wait to share his superb introduction with readers 💙📚

Good tips here!
I’ve been making use of Lists for this reason as well. I can’t follow a zillion people and still have a functional timeline, but I’m adding interesting accounts to different Lists so I can click over to read their posts when I want to.
Lists = just ppl on it
Feeds = algorithm based on ppl on it
Lists = just ppl on it
Feeds = algorithm based on ppl on it
Starter packs are great but worth considering making hyper-specific packs into Feeds! That way people can, for example, follow regular updates specifically from everyone that works at your publication. I’m less likely to follow a gazillion starter pack people then I am to simply follow one feed!

This is a handy starter pack of book journos and publicists. Thank you, Kelly!
Like so many bookish types, I’m new here over the weekend and have put together a book publicist and bookish journalist starter pack to help us all find each other over here in the sunlit uplands of Bluesky. go.bsky.app/Ao2gR6R

Great to see The Fate of Mary Rose by Caroline Blackwood in the Guardian’s crime and thriller round-up.
It’s a new addition to the Virago Modern Classics list and the most *unnerving* thing I’ve read in a long time!
