Book Workers for a Free Palestine
@bookworkers4pal
Book workers organising in solidarity with Palestinians for: a permanent ceasefire, cultural and academic boycott of Israel, and a free Palestine 🇵🇸
Joined February 2024
- Book Workers for a Free Palestine is a coalition of book workers – publishing workers, agents, booksellers, librarians, writers, translators, visual creatives – who have come together out of horror at the genocide taking place today in Gaza to call for an immediate ceasefire.
- In Gaza, to date, more than 30,000 people have been killed and more than 72,000 injured by Israeli forces, with many more missing or being killed as you read this. Each and every one of the dead carried stories within them: stories of a people, a culture and a land.

- If you're at London Book Fair today or tomorrow, get a copy of our 'This Publisher is Against Genocide' poster for your stand. DM us for details. #LBF24 #LBFVigil #ceasefirenow🇵🇸

Please share as widely as you can - all support is appreciated! ❤️🚨Calling UK writers, illustrators, and translators!

- Replying to @bookworkers4palAmong the dead are at least 178 writers, journalists, scholars, thinkers and poets. What they would have written can never be recovered, though their names can be remembered and their work celebrated.
- We have taken down a tweet that was badly worded and caused confusion, for which we apologise. Let us be clear: we wholeheartedly support Palestinian liberation and self-determination. The future of historic Palestine will be for Palestinians to decide.
- Replying to @bookworkers4palThis London Book Fair we seek to honour those lost in the genocide and, in their memory, call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. Asset created in collaboration with @designaidpalestine (IG) illustration by @EbyanEgal. #ceasefirenow #LBF24 #LBFVigil 🇵🇸 🍉
