TSL Authors supporting TSL Authors #reviews #interviews #books

One of the inspirations for starting TSL Publications was Virginia and Leonard Woolf’s setting up of the Hogarth Press back in 1917. So, it’s not too surprising that the Bloomsbury Group has had further influence on how TSL operates. In keeping with the Bloomsbury Group tradition, I like to think that TSL does things independently of the mainstream, thereby filling a gap. Similarly, many of our authors are independent thinkers who appreciate similar traits in others. For this reason, this post contains reviews by TSL authors on other TSL authored books. Our diverse range of authors independently choose which books they review, so have a look – you might spot a new read.
