…but I’m not allowed to share it yet! You’ll have to wait til next week.
We’ve been madly busy hammering away at issue 2 of our very own books magazine, also called Backstory.
Here’s a reminder of issue 1:
Issue 2 is looking even better than our first issue. It’s bursting with colourful pieces about books and bookshops, from your favourite booksellers and amazing writers like Hollie McNish, Julia Armfield and Ed Caesar.
Follow us on Instagram @Backstory.London for our cover reveal, later this week. (Yes, I know I’m being a TEASE.)
I can’t wait to share lots about the magazine with you next week — including some very exciting and slightly mad news about Backstory going global! — so see you same time, same place.
