Agree with most of the sentiments but they could have encouraged people to embrace Indie Publishing which is railing against everything flagged here.

Got an email to say that a teacher, at an international secondary school in France, loved The Wooden Hill so much, she is planning on teaching stories from it to the students.
Isn't that just lovely? 😊
AND SURREAL.

‘brilliantly rendered…funny and insightful, bringing the quirks and prejudices of…working class characters to life.’

RT's appreciated for this one, pre-orders are super-important for small presses cos they help gauge print runs and they're really helpful for getting us noticed by the big high street chains too 🙏👌
