Autumn is here - a season that always signals something special for publishing (and we're not just talking pumpkin spiced coffee breaks)! 😂

🍂 Readers are reaching for comfort and discovery
🍂 Publishers are preparing for their busiest quarter
🍂 Formats from print to audio all have their moment

A brilliant afternoon was had yesterday at the Publishers Association Parliamentary Reception at the House of Lords ✨ It was inspiring to celebrate the continued strength and contribution of UK publishing and champion the vital role of this incredible industry! 📚
