We’re delighted to share a new poem, written and performed exclusively for Independent Bookshop Week. “Champions of Literature” by @GeorgethePoet Filmed at @newbeaconbooks #IndieBookshopWeek @HachetteUK @HodderBooks


NBB expresses deep sadness over the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. Always a Poet of the People and a friend of NBB, his place in the UK's literary landscape is assured. Our condolences and thoughts are with Benjamin's family and loved ones at this time. His light still shines.

"More than a bookshop." I dropped by @newbeaconbooks in Finsbury Park to learn about the history of the UK's longest running Black-owned bookstore. Don't give your money to Amazon. Give it to independent bookshops like New Beacon instead.

The very fabulous Lizzie and Belle Mysteries written by @OjiBrown73 and illustrated by @SimDougie and published by @FarshoreBooks. This pic was taken at the launch party at @newbeaconbooks in the summer! Happy memories.

In 2021, @newbeaconbooks hosted #BelongingandResistance: an evening of readings honouring their commitment to publishing & distribution of works by Black writers. The evening’s theme centred on constructing belonging & the history of places of resistance. serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/belon…
