We’ve joined Mastodon
In response to everything that’s happening on Twitter, we’ve set up our own account on Mastodon, and you can follow us there: we’re @canongatebooks@bookish.community.
In fact, we set up a whole instance on Mastodon, and we’ve invited some of our indie publishing and bookseller friends to join us there. So if you’re on Mastodon (or thinking of joining), why not follow not just us, but our friends @mrbsemporium, @severnhouse, @SerpentsTail, @ViperBooks, @FaberBooks, @DauntBooksPub, @ProfileBooks and @Indies_Alliance (and hopefully more joining us soon!).
If you want to join Mastodon, here are some possible places to start. Not sure what Mastodon is? Here’s an explainer!
