P.S. Publishing has spent the past decade quietly carving out space for women writers to explore relationships through their own voices and styles. Now this compact publisher is throwing open its doors with an exhibition celebrating nearly 100 books that prove small format doesn't mean small impact. The event packs in proper activities beyond browsing. Talk sessions turn readers and writers from strangers passing by each other on shelves to actual people having honest conversations about love, heartbreak and everything messily in between. Speed Dating follows, pairing you with seven different authors for quick-fire exchanges. Fancy making something? The DIY Book station lets you nick a preface, paragraph and With love and… closing line from various P.S. titles to create your own tiny publication. Meanwhile, Sis Market flips the script with writers and illustrators playing vendors whilst readers shop their handmade creations. Upstairs, Something Blue Library hosts workshops and reading sessions for anyone craving a quieter moment amongst kindred book lovers.
