Happy publication day to @kdz_photography and Visible Mending 🧵

Visible Mending invites readers to reconsider the stories embedded in the things we keep, the marks we conceal, and the ways we might instead choose to make them seen.

Happy publication day to @sarahcloseauthor and This Did Hurt!

"Such a compelling read ... Close’s description of the numerous shortcomings in maternity care in the UK is shocking and sometimes harrowing, but at the same time, she has a lightness of touch that makes the book immensely readable and, at times, very funny." Dr Kim Thomas, Birth Trauma Society

“I can see a hand,” I said.

Sarah Close’s journey begins with excitement, anticipation and all the plans that a first pregnancy brings. But it doesn’t take long for those plans to start going awry.

Highly readable, candid and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, This Did Hurt takes us behind the headlines to explore what happens when maternity care is pushed too far.

Arriving 29 October.

✨ Happy publication day to @beewyld and The Fool's Leap ✨

This inspirational book invites artists, writers, and open-minded creatives to work with tarot as a framework for reflection and imaginative inquiry.

Drawing on more than thirty years of lived creative practice, Bennett shows how tarot’s images, archetypes, and narratives can support creative momentum, deepen self-trust, and help navigate periods of creative block.

Includes 35 beautiful, original black and white illustrations by Adam Clarke, both of the Major and Minor Arcana symbols and card spreads.

Happy publication day to @catherinesimpsonwriter and Sandwiched 🎉

What do you do when your ninety-five-year-old father needs you at exactly the same moment your adult daughter is plunged into crisis?

Relatable, deeply moving and surprisingly funny, this is a page-turning story of family in all its glorious chaos – and a reminder that even after the darkest times, there can still be a time to dance.
