Tsk! We commissioned #Penge artist-in-residence and occasional poet Cosmo Chancer to write a poem for #InternationalWomen'sDay - and he's only just got it over to us. 🙄

Happy #WorldBookDay! As is traditional, I'll be dressing up as 'me' from How Graffiti Saved My Dad's Life and Tom has gone off to work dressed as Norman 'Nails' McAvity, the first-ever Croydonaut, from Ad Astra Per Croydon.

(All our books and #zines are at colossive.com)

Happy 'heavenly' birthday to Tom's dad John - one of the most loving, kind and gentle people you could ever wish to meet.

He was also the man who first came up with the word 'colossive' to describe anything that was 'awful big altogether' - so our teeny-tiny press is named in his honour. ❤️

Enjoyed an evening of laughter and good food and drink to remember our friend (and my writing partner) Janet Ellis, who would have been 60 yesterday 🖤

Here’s a blog I wrote after we lost her: tom-writer.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-f...

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth!

Hilda Gibbens died suddenly in 1953. There are no photographs of her. Nobody remembers what she looked or sounded like.

A Portrait of Hilda Gibbens tries to piece together what's left of her story. Buy the #zine for £4 at bit.ly/hildagibbens
