So how do we all display our books? Alphabetised by author/title, Dewey decimal; or by genre, colour, or format? 🤔

An interesting approach to history writing: exploring things that didn't happen, or should've happened, instead of everything that did. We'll take a copy 😎

RIP to David Lodge, aged 89. He'll forever be remembered for his seminal book on writing, The Art of Fiction: a scholarly but readable text exploring key aspects of fiction. A must-read for any reader and writer 🧐

How do you feel about Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey? It has a varied cast and Nolan is a good director, but the formulaic elements make the epic unique and aren't easily adapted for film. Will it just be a load of crash and bang? 🤔

We recently worked with Mark Addison on a third edition of his non-fiction book, 'Vision and Visual Processing in Autism', who said this of the service: "[eQuill's] expertise in aligning the book's style with reader expectations makes the reading experience both smooth and enjoyable." 😎

On Writing: King navigates us concisely through the fiction-writing process, from initial inspiration to ruthlessly editing the text down to its "bare bones". This skeletal form is the paragon: every word as indespensable as the next. No stale adverbs, no cumbersome adjectives.

The past, present and future of publishing. Well-written and prescient, but shaped by a life working with the physical: paper, glue, and now silicon. Literature has endured any number of crises and will continue to endure.

This is an independent recommendation.
