My latest article in the bookseller magazine. We have succeeded in bringing the top five publishers to the party. Now we need to get more of them to do it. And get it into bookshops.

Just thinking if my article I wrote for DyStinct magazine. The things I learnt about yourself are some of the most imporant and hardest things to find.

For 3 years now we at book on the hill and both press have been publishing adult dyslexic friendly books. I written articles in the bookseller that publishers have to do more! All the work I been doing has been working. At last all the pressure we have given in taking with many
Heads of publishers that they should do more for dyslexia has worked. I so pleased to be one of the originators of bringing dyslexic friendly books to adults. It looks like taken up my challenge!

Bloomsbury launches adult dyslexia-friendly versions of bestselling backlist through staff-led project Bloomsbury is launching an ongoing production of a selection of their bestselling trade titles as dyslexia-friendly books.

The lovely Books On The Hill with it’s delightful tea rooms is also open today for The Sunday Market 😊

Due to staff shortages. The cafe will be closed today. Back open on Wednesday.

Today, we celebrate a decade of growth, impact, and unwavering dedication to making the joy of reading accessible to all. Books On The Hill under the visionary leadership of Alistair and Chloe, has become a symbol of inspiration.

Alistair's journey navigating the complexities of academia with dyslexia has not only fueled his personal achievements but also ignited a mission to empower others.

His remarkable academic accomplishments and contributions to the field of Celtic literature serve as a beacon of hope for those who may doubt their potential.

Alistair's passion extends far beyond his own achievements. He recognised a void in the literary landscape—a lack of dyslexia-friendly books for adults. With unwavering determination and the invaluable support of his community, he co-founded BOTH Publishing, turning a vision into a reality.

Through successful Kickstarter campaigns and tireless efforts, BOTH Publishing has published a collection of 16 titles by acclaimed authors, ensuring that the joy of reading is accessible to everyone.

Alistair's commitment to inclusion, his relentless drive, and his desire to support the reading journeys of individuals with dyslexia have transformed the literary landscape.

On this 10th anniversary, we celebrate Alistair, Chloe, and the entire Books on the Hill community. Their unwavering dedication, their resilience in the face of challenges, and their unwavering belief in the power of literature to unite and uplift is truly inspirational.

Here's to another decade of literary inclusion, empowering readers, and celebrating the joy of books. May Books on the Hill continue to shine brightly, inspiring future generations. Happy 10th Anniversary!
