Hello and welcome to the new, new, Words & Matter site. Back alive and kicking in 2022.

Word & Matter exists to provide free, interesting and accessible book news, primarily for a UK audience but occasionally covering international news too.

No (hopefully) stuffy content and definitely no paywalls. You’ll find new stories daily and, as Kevin is but one person, as much content as he can get through.

Book news/views without the tatter.

Social media you say? W&M is also on Facebook, and Twitter, if you prefer to engage there.

Or you can sign up for the weekly book news email on the right sidebar (bottom bar if you’re on mobile), where we’ll send you all the top things from this week in a brief whirlwind of info.

Affiliate things

Words & Matter may make a small amount from links on the site. We are an affiliate of both Bookshop.org (which exists to support independent bookshops UK-wide), and Hive.co.uk.

If you're a new visitor then welcome, thanks for finding us. If you're a returning visitor, but surprised by the change of look, then welcome back, we missed you, isn't it nice here? 

Why-ever you're here we hope you like the new, new (2022), site. We certainly do.
