You are kind! Our subscribers mean everything to us - and honestly, absolutely practically - doubling our subscriber base (which costs £2.50 a month for UK readers, £3.50 for our limited edition sub.) could make ALL the difference - and possibly between survival and going under.

So true Alice - it’s devastating. We’re literally on our knees with production costs (it’s ripped through our reserves) - but, when excellence is our criteria (that comes before anything else: we have to believe in our books!) and this is now anathema, well… we’re fucked.

What you do is totally brilliant and I am hoping you can find courage in difficult times. There is a massive gap at present between what audiences / readers are open to receiving and what a bunch of tedious but powerful gate-keepers are insisting that should want to see / read.
It’s been a tough year with runaway print costs - and this makes us feel, more than ever, that we stand no chance with the one funding body the UK has.

Today is launch day for PLATFORM 7 on @ITVX and a huge and heartfelt thanks to everyone who made it happen. @DancingLedgeUK @chriscareyWTPC @jobson_jasmine @FaberBooks and many many more.
I’m so proud of my wonderful friend Louise. How fabulous to know this special book will soon be in the world…
Oh just me trying to look super cool and casual in front of a pre-publication poster of #ABirdinWinter. (With apologies to the nice young man who I made move out of the way, take a picture for me AND pre-order the book).

Incredibly proud of the work our son Jack Lewis is doing at the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
📢 Yesterday we joined @Demos and @PrincesTrust to give evidence in Parliament @YouthAPPG – giving our perspective on the barriers and opportunities facing young people entering the workplace and the impact enrichment and volunteering has on developing skills.

So incredibly proud of my daughter, one of these students in Madagascar. The photos and videos she has sent from the rainforest are incredible and have made me reflect deeply on the relationship between nature and humanity and what we all might do to help protect these regions.
Kew’s MSc students are currently having fun studying plants and fungi in the humid forests of Madagascar as part of their MSc in Plant and Fungal Taxonomy, Diversity and Conservation @QM_SBBS @KewScience @kewgardens #biodiversity #qmulkewmsc
