Calling all Londoners!

The incredible team at Earth Cruises are raising vital funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians this Sunday in Hackney.

We are sad to not make it, but a few of our Saqi titles will be available for purchase on the day - all profits directly donated to MAP 🩷

A week today we'll be celebrating the winners of the 2024 Independent Publishing Awards! Good luck to all those on the shortlists, which you can see here bit.ly/ipa24shortlists #ipa24

Ya lo había recomendado, pero comparto otro libro de Mahmoud Darwish: quizás el más grande poeta que ha dado Palestina al mundo. En “A River Dies of Thirst” traducido del árabe por Saqi Books, comparte entre versos momentos de la guerra.

I am delighted that Aye Write & Wee Write will go ahead in some form. Very grateful they've been saved. And honoured to be the first event announced - discussing Maggie & Me with cowriter James Ley and Jackie Wylie from National Theatre of Scotland Arts funding shouldn't be so uncertain.

We're excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for our first selection of Aye Write pop up events taking place in 2024! 📚

Check out what’s on and get your tickets now at glasgowlife.org.uk/whats-on/aye-w…

We are so thrilled that #AyeWrite and #WeeWrite are still able to go ahead this year.

Fantastic news for the Aye Write team, and for all the authors, writers & creators involved 🎉

'In this terrible time, when helplessness and exile characterise Sudan’s writers, our novels can provide readers with a backdrop to the tensions and help us all keep company with those in pain.'
