@pollyrowena.bsky.social

And here is @nicwilson.bsky.social's piece for @thebookseller on the dangers of simplification of our relationship with nature through both her own experiences of chronic illness and her mothers', in which she concludes 'reciprocity is part of what makes my relationship with nature so sustaining.'

The Salt Path scandal shows how problematic "the nature cure" narrative can be.

Have only just realised that Running My Own Race appeared in the June 2025 Black issue of the Bookseller (a bit late, I know). Still feels worth sharing.

Late to post but what a moving night @thebookseller Nibbies. Books of the night were Alexei Navalny's Patriot and Percival Everett's James. Both extraordinary. Plus rousing speeches on genocide in Gaza, domestic abuse and using privilege responsibly. Loved!

ICYMI: I’ve had messages from writers saying they have no idea how many books they have sold, that they aren’t sure whether they should email their editor, that they don’t know whether they can query editorial notes, says Phoebe Morgan 👇 #BookSky

Interesting news in @thebookseller. It seems tech giants and governments are running out of excuses for making unauthorised use of copyright work.
