Bringing people together

Freedom of expression, workshops, chairing, public speaking
We offer experience and expertise in:
-
Freedom of expression, the right to read and the right to publish. No one working with the written word can thrive without freedom of expression. We can support you, your authors and booksellers with practical tools to stand up to censorship and book challenges.
​​​
-
Innovative team development workshops. We delve deep into language to empower your teams to communicate better. Perfect for Board development and awaydays, sales and marketing team development, and inter-departmental interaction.
​​
-
Chairing Board and panel discussions calmly, cohesively and collaboratively. Recent examples include chairing an English PEN salon discussion at the 2025 London Book Fair, and chairing the president of the International Publishers Association for an IBBY conference at the 2025 Bologna Children’s Book Fair.
-
Public speaking to help illuminate history, human rights and literature, including at book launch events.
