To mark the launch of the Ambient Literature project, Kate Pullinger wrote a piece for The Bookseller, the UK’s primary trade publication for the publishing industry.

But one of the goals of the Ambient Literature project is to open up a discussion with the industry – we have much to gain from talking to each other.
