Are any of you on LInkedIn? Currently our editors are getting inundated with offers of working in AI. So, we wanted to let you know, we don't use AI in any of our artwork or texts. Real art by real artists, and real writing by real writers!

All of our books have artwork by real artists, not AI. Aren't they beautiful!

NOT SWINGING, SWOONING. It’s now six months since I launched my most recent autofiction. A book that means a lot to me, it’s my best go at what it was like for me in the early 1960s – suburbs – full-gloss colour – sexual abuse – pop songs – my abortive su***de at the age of thirteen. It’s also my best go at wrestling with the power of words to express while hobbling our ways of making sense of life.

And it’s not only my last autofiction, it’s also the very last fiction of any sort that I’ll ever write.

It’s on sale at bookshops like Scorpio, Unity and Undercurrent. Or you can order a copy directly from the publishers:

There's an interesting article in Audubon about warblish that mentions Helen Mae Innes' upcoming book Warblish, Chirpish, Ticktocklish, and Animalopoeia.

A relatively new field of research focuses on the rich history of pairing birdsong with human language.
