While John Bercow begins his first day as House of Commons Speaker, I enter into the second week of my internship at Inpress, and begin to feel that it’s time for another update. Over the last few days I’ve been working at both Inpress and member publisher, Flambard Press, learning about the behind-the-scenes efforts required to bring new publications to the shelves. I’m now able to use backstage software to upload recent releases to the Inpress website, and these new skills have been keeping me busy! Across the road at Flambard, meanwhile, I’ve been privileged to read and discuss publication submissions with managing editor Will Mackie. I’ve also put my creative talents to the test, assisting with flyer design for recent publications. Aside from the exciting job of reading submissions (some of which I particularly hope Flambard will publish, as I’m already hooked!) I’ve begun to read Love and Other Possibilities by Lewis Davies. This isn’t a dating guide, as a friend thought upon spying the book’s romantically styled cover, but a collection of short stories set in exotic locations from Spain to Sri Lanka. The perfect form of escapism from the classic British weather, and as an added bonus, it’s easy to fit in a short story or two while waiting for that Wimbledon match to start! Stay tuned for a review….
