In years past, this would be the weekend when our festival would be hosting all sorts of bookish fun with @UniofGreenwich & @orncgreenwich. It's not happening this year, but we will return!
All the congratulations (and champagne) to our friends at @GalleyBeggars for making the Booker Prize longlist again, this time for “After Sappho” by Selby Wynn Schwartz. We’re so happy for you! A much-deserved honour.
FREE BOOKS! (Do we have your attention now?) Come along to this free creative writing workshop Thursday at 2 pm at @ElthamLibrary, then listen to local authors. Free copies of the "City of Stories" anthology, featuring fab London authors, will be there for the taking.
Join us for #CityOfStoriesHome at @ElthamLibrary this Thursday, 16 June. Thanks to @STWevents in partnership with @LDNLibraries for our #BSL interpreted creative writing workshop with @carinyasharples! 📚 Book your free place here: bit.ly/3mN2a71 @Royal_Greenwich
Here's to 2023 and the return of @GreBookFest
The Greenwich Book Festival will be back in 2023! We look forward to hosting all sorts of events for every kind of book lover next summer. See you then!
This is such sad news. The Costa Book Awards were a brilliant boost to authors, the book industry and book lovers (all the best people). We hope this isn't really the end, and that a new sponsor is found soon.

Many congratulations to our friends @_KnightsOf ! Such a well-deserved honour for such a hard-working team.
Still floating from last night but coming down briefly to say, we are so proud to have won @thebookseller #Nibbies Children's Publisher of the Year award! This is HUGE for our tiny team and even bigger for all of us wanting to make this industry more inclusive THANK YOU!!
In 2017, Sarah Perry came to our festival to talk about her novel "The Essex Serpent." Read her essay on how it felt when the novel was turned into a mini-series for Apple TV with Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston. theguardian.com/books/2022/may…

Our friend @DapsDraws (GBF19) illustrated this year's absolutely stunning @booksaremybag tote. We love it and can't wait until we get to fill it with books in October.

Happy #WorldBookDay ! For some, it might feel like a regular day. For others (like us), it feels like Christmas Day all over again. Official World Book Day lllustrations by @RobBiddulph (GBF17)
Congratulations to our founding director @alexpheby, and his publisher @galleybeggars, for making the longlist of the @PrizeRofc with the novel "Mordew." Well done, Alex!
Delighted that @moniqueroffey published by indie @peepaltreepress has won overall Costa for The Mermaid of Black Conch. I asked to review for @ST_Culture in the early summer and found it an immensely rewarding reading experience. Transporting...even when you’re stuck at home
Some great audio book selections for the log dark nights ahead from our director @PatriciaNicol
Most of us are facing a month at home and the evenings are long and dark — it’s the perfect time to enjoy an audiobook, says @PatriciaNicol — here are her picks thetimes.co.uk/article/the-pe…
Monday at 7 pm you can join our friends at @CWIPprize to find out who is the wittiest of them all. Everyone is invited! Go to their YouTube channel to see the live event at youtu.be/wSEoRVURoAU
First they said they needed data about the children to find out what they’re learning. Then they said they needed data about the children to make sure they are learning. Then the children only learnt what could be turned into data. Then the children became data.
This is a tough development for all authors and publishers - and small presses. Tabletops are heaving, review spaces are vanishingly rare - so if you do pick up a new book by an indie author, and love it, please make all the noise you can. It will help! theguardian.com/focus/2020/aug…
Happy Publication Day to our co-founder @alexpheby, whose astounding new novel "Mordew" is out today. Buy it directly from our friends @GalleyBeggars.
IT'S TIME! Please join us in wishing a very happy publication day to our dear author @alexpheby, and his marvellous new novel, Mordew. "Shades of Gormenghast... and with a wild magic all of its own." (@sarahjphughes, @theipaper) Buy a copy here! galleybeggar.co.uk/paperback-shop…
