It's just occurred to me* that I probably ought to prepare an email newsletter to accompany publication day for my book.

Any tips from authors who've been through this before on what's most effective to include?

* In a forehead slapping, duh-duh kinda way, I might add :)

It's paperback publication day for #NoneOfTheAbove by Travis Alabanza!

An electric memoir about what it means to live outside the gender boundaries set by society, it’s a book about doubt, growth and reflection, which offers ‘welcome nuance to those willing to listen’ (The Independent).

🔔 Today is #PublicationDay for my #InsolventBook so here is a 🧵! Insolvent is the story of how #computing got stuck in its way of thinking, how a group of fields I call it critical friends can help it get unstuck, and how that would help it play a more genuinely helpful role in the quest of our societies to become more sustainable and more just. The book is for everyone who cares about #sustainability, #SocialJustice, #Technology, and #Design. #OpenAccess

It’s Publication Day for my supernatural mystery, Bleak Waters, now available on #kindle & #kindleunlimited from Darkstroke Books.

Part mystery, part ghost story, set against the backdrop of the Norfolk Broads, Bleak Waters is a tale of secrets, lies and hidden agendas.

It was #publication day for my eighth #novel #AChildsGoodbye yesterday and look! I matched my cardigan to my #book cover! (Semi-intentionally.) The plant was a #publicationday gift from my #publishers #Bookouture. The card with my #bookcover on was from my OH. Pic taken by my daughter!

Today is #PublicationDay for two very different but exceptionally good books:

The first is The Go-Between by Osman Yousefzada. Osman is now a fashion designer and visual artist, who grew up in Birmingham to immigrant parents, living in a devoutly Muslim, extremely patriarchal community.

The Go-Between is his memoir of this childhood: ejected from women's spaces in his own community (spaces sometimes of fabric and creativity, things that thrilled him and would go on to define his adult life), and confronted with the pressures and racism of Britain in the 80s.

It's a deeply moving and beautifully written book, and – happily! – it's just been shortlisted for the Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize. A couple of the many quotes it's received:

“A page-turner full of love, wisdom and yearning” Kit De Waal

“A poetic and moving book. Osman paints pictures with words, unfolding hidden stories that stay with you beyond the final page” Hanif Kureishi

On US #PublicationDay for #OnSavageShores, I'm delighted to say that the publisher has agreed to give a copy for free to any tribal library or similar #Indigenous community organisation that would like one, so please do share and let me know! #histodons

It’s nice to be back and it’s already our first #PublicationDay of the year!

Today we publish The Swedish Art of Ageing Well by Margareta Magnusson, a book with one of the finest subtitles going: “Life wisdom from someone who will (probably) die before you”.

Margaretta is “somewhere between 80 and 100 years old”, impossibly charming, and full of good advice on getting pleasure and meaning from life as you grow older.

You can find it here, or (even better) at your friendly local bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/415/9781838859497

Anticlimactic #publicationday seems to be the rule. Ideas, #authors and @bookstodon, how to manage the depression?

This fascinating, thriller-paced #novel avoids both the casual pathologization of madness or its equally misleading romanticization, and reveals the common bond between artistic genius and suffering patient. Readers familiar with #Joyce or discovering him for the first time will find in Lombardi's, richly written, intricate book a compassionate exploration of the literary heart of madness, offering new insights into what it means to be human." @bookstodon #publicationday #books #acadenicchat

Testimonial #2 comes from David Hyman, who before he became an acclaimed Lehman College prof wrote his dissertation on James Joyce:

"I am blown away. A voicing of silent voices on so many levels.

Really brilliant. And deserves to be read by others!!!

Also made me realize that academia has changed in the past 20 years more than madhouses." #bookstodon @bookstodon #JamesJoyce #academicchat #publicationday https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM7XWLZT
