All things books and publishing. December 30, 2014. November 7, 2016. Any Other Mouth – Anneliese Mackintosh (Review). Goddamn you, Anneliese. Goddamn your skills. You’ve interweaved numerous ‘short stories’ into such a slick narrative that I’m currently questioning the very genre of short stories. I’ve never read anything quite like this. I was fully prepared to spout off about how,. 2 32% did not happen. 3 I will never tell. Oh well. Gotta work with what we’ve got. So what. It’s not all doom and ...

The Last Days of Disco – David F. Ross (Review) – Publishthings
https://publishthings.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/the-last-days-of-disco-david-f-ross-review
All things books and publishing. March 13, 2015. November 7, 2016. The Last Days of Disco – David F. Ross (Review).

The Last Days of Disco strikes the perfect balance between weighty socio-political commentary and witty observation. I laughed out loud a great many times and shrunk in sadness during the hard...

All things books and publishing. December 29, 2014. November 7, 2016. Top 5 books of 2014. It’s that time of year again when I look back at what I read in 2014 and bleat on about the top 5. I really read a pitiful amount this year but luckily of the few I read, most were remarkable. And I am delighted to observe that 4/5 of the authors are women. In no particular order…. 1 We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves – Karen Joy Fowler. 2 The Art of Asking – Amanda Palmer. Ah, Amanda. One of my favourites&...

The F Word: Freelancing, the dirty word – Publishthings
https://publishthings.wordpress.com/2015/11/18/the-f-word-freelancing-the-dirty-word
All things books and publishing. November 18, 2015. November 7, 2016. The F Word: Freelancing, the dirty word. Thankfully, in my own (granted, brief) experience, I’ve found this to be rubbish. A recent study showed that in the last 3 years in Scotland there has been a ’25 per cent increase in the number of self-employed and freelancing graduates’. ( The Herald, 10/11/15.
