@northodoxpress.bsky.socialThank you so much 😍
@franmoldaschl.bsky.socialReposted by @northodoxpress.bsky.socialI last read this book when it came out and I still think about it periodically.
I have an excerpt on my blog if you're curious: inquisitivenewt.com/2025/06/16/c...
I can't recommend it enough. @sflayzell.northsky.social wrote an absolute classic <3
@ruebaldry.bsky.socialReposted by @northodoxpress.bsky.socialI absolutely love Cottonopolis! Great for kids, but also a full and satisfying read for adults. Great queer hist fic!
@northodoxpress.bsky.socialYou may have noticed we've been a bit quiet on here for a few days. We were meant to have 2 new books out today, but despite our best efforts we'll need a couple more days to get things sent. Huge apologies to those who have preordered. We promise to get books to you in the next few days 🙏
@northodoxpress.bsky.socialJust landed in Darlington for Call of the Crow festival. As always, we'll pick up emails and messages after the weekend. Cheers 🍻
@ruebaldry.bsky.socialReposted by @northodoxpress.bsky.socialTomorrow night I will be inside gorgeous Beloved Books in Boroughbridge signing copies of Dwell and answering questions about it. If you are near North Yorkshire and enjoy queer historical literary fiction why not come along and meet me?

@northodoxpress.bsky.socialThis week was the second birthday of our queer historical, fantasy novel, Cottonopolis by the brilliant SF Layzell!
This magical Midgrade book set in 1840s Manchester made the Little Rebels Prize shortlist last year and we can't recommend it enough 😍
Two years ago I became a published children's author! 🤩🥰
"Like Oliver Twist but cute and gay" is still my favourite review. Thank you @northodoxpress.bsky.social and every reader of Cottonopolis.
I'd love to reach more readers - here's where it can be found:
