Thank goodness for Iceland Foods ❄️ - the only supermarket I could get a grocery delivery slot for my mother-in-law who currently has a potential broken arm and is self-isolating in a remote village. Some great fresh food options too. Feeling so relieved she's stocked up now.
Perked up on hearing Ziyad Marar's comments re: diversity + inclusivity in book publishing. Sadly, I have also encountered hiring discrimination (at interview stage!) during my career - in 2011, not even 1989. 'So much work needs to be done'. But how and what? #ipgsc
Particularly welcome was Ziyad Marar's introduction to Leading Routes - an organization that seeks to 'strengthen the academic pipeline' for Black students. Academics of color are incredibly under-represented in academic publishing, in my experience and opinion. #ipgsc
Really liked Andy Rossiter's (Rossiter Books) comments about consumers' 'deliberate spending' - particularly with indies - one of the outcomes of the pandemic. Spending habits have definitely changed; from supporting indies to making more mindful + sustainable purchases. #ipgsc
Absolutely - went into my local Waterstones for the first time since the pandemic started a few weeks ago and realized how much I'd missed their well-curated tables and knowledgeable, friendly staff! Spent far more than I'd anticipated that day. And was happy to. #ipgsc
