1/ Start of thread re a possible socialist book

I am hoping to edit and publish a book bringing together short essay / Blog pieces written by Labour left Tweeters. Idea is to capture some of our inspirational ideas about Socialism, plus the #GTTO message.

#socialistsunday

2/ I have a lot of experience writing and publishing books (pics in Twitter header).

Aim now is to work, with other Socialists, on a cheap paperback that can spread our message beyond Twitter.

Anybody interested in writing a piece, please reply here or send DM. Thanks

3/ Thanks to those who have responded so positively in the first hour of this project!

As Tweets limited to 280 characters, think I will put some stuff on my Blog re this as it progresses, and then Tweet link to Blog.

4/ Great response already to #SocialistSunday #GTTO book idea, and several contributors lined up - more info now on my Blog. Thanks https://twitter.com/AndrewGodsell/status/1217562230776045568?s=20
