Paging PhilipLarkinSociety - did you know there was a Larkin quote on Dr Who earlier this year? Have I just been a bit slow catching up, and everyone else knew this already?!

I started the year off on a bad footing (on one foot actually!) and spent a lot of it ill on the sofa. But turns out I got quite a lot done on the days I went outside 😊 Here’s to everyone who helped make it a good one. More selfies with people I love next year! Happy 2025 ⭐️

If you run a bookshop or a library, get in touch. I'll go (almost) anywhere, do (almost) anything. This was absurd fun to write and is absurd fun to talk about

🥇Absolutely thrilled to have won this award! For a small indie publisher to win Front Page of the Year against such strong competition from across the country — especially in the paper’s first year — is a fantastic achievement. HUGE thanks to everyone who voted for us. #Hull
