We were joined by Leena Norms at the #MPConf on Monday to discuss her key to cutting down on tasks; half-arsing 📣
"Half-arsing isn't just getting halfway through a strategy, it's working out the most important part and working on that - strategic half-arsing."
An inspiring day was had by all at #MPConf yesterday 💡
So many important topics were covered, from diversity in publishing to market shifts, expert case studies to wellness, perfect pitching to social media, and so much more.

Dreamy day in London for @thebookseller.com #MPConf! Lots of food for thought and it was brilliant three librarians got tickets to attend (thank you #TheBookseller). Also, thank goodness for air con.
Loved this indie bookseller ask-me-anything session at the Bookseller #MPConf! I always say the passion of booksellers is unrivalled and this panel 100% demonstrated that. Thrilled to have received a shout out too 🥰

Arrived late at #MPConf and already finding myself in awe of the talented publicists and marketers that fill this industry.
But just a quick shout out to @alisonbarrow.bsky.social, whose session I watched online - and who is SO DAMN RIGHT that we should talk about author support, not care. >>
The bar can be quite low, but there is a bar, says Mia Oakley when discussing the ways in which diversity is improving, "albeit slowly" within publishing. #MPConf
