The Pack

Who are we?

Our reviewers include writers (published and unpublished), journalists, librarians, actors – as well as wildlife painters, craft-workers, opera-buffs and dog-lovers. What unites us all is a love of and interest in books.

What kind of books we are interested in?

With a range of reviewers of such diverse interests, there is very little that Vulpes Libris is not interested in. We cover everything: from picture books to literary fiction; from chicklit and thrillers to works of philosophy and political writings – you name it, we write about it.

    Hi

    I wondered whether you would be interested in reviewing my debut novel, Castle in the Clouds (see web site above).

    It is a novel based on the lives of five patients in rehab and has been favouably critiqued by psychologist/writer Oliver James. It is also being featured in a number of magazines.

    I would be happy to send you a copy when it comes out in June.

    With kind regards

    Monica

    I’ll ask around the other Foxes, Monica.

    Hi,

    Just found your fantastic site. Was wondering how one becomes a writer for it and if I may link to your site from my own blog?

    Thank you,
    Jemima

    Hello Jemima,

    Glad you like Vulpes and of course you may link to us.

    As far as becoming a writer for us is concerned, it’s by invitation.

    We’re always on the look-out for people with a wide and lively interest in all things bookish and the ability to write well about it. As you’ve no doubt noticed, we have a very catholic spread of interests between us.

    We have guest writers as well, of course.

    I’ve bookmarked your blog … :)

    Great blogsite and always something of interest here so I would like, if I may, to add you to my modest collection of links on my website.

    One thing intrigues me though – a definite lack of men about the place, particularly in the list of contributors and the links.

    Is this a deliberate policy or just the way things have developed?

    All the best

    Ken

    Thank you, Ken – and of course we’d be delighted to be added to your modest collection. :)

    As far as the lack of the male of the species is concerned … it’s just the way it’s developed, honestly – not deliberate policy on our part at all!

    I suppose basically it’s because it started with one woman – Leena – asking her friends to join her on the site – and all those friends were, not entirely surprisingly, women.

    I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see things changing in the future. 8)

  • Coming Up This Week:

    EBOOK FORTNIGHT: WEEK TWO

    On Monday, a welcome guest post from Catherine Czerkawska, who introduces us to a whole menagerie of threats and opportunities in UK publishing, in Weeping crocodiles, little pigs and big bad wolves.

    Lisa’s suggested description of Tuesday’s piece was ‘Lisa waffles on and on about stuff’ – which has the virtue of pithiness in its favour, but perhaps lacks something in the way of information – so try this: We republish Emily Gale’s terrific recent interview with Book Fox Lisa, wherein she talks about snakes, beaches and e-publishing.

    Wednesday finds RosyB taking a wide-ranging look at some of the issues surrounding ebooks - from covers and content to giveaways and gatekeepers.

    On Thursday we welcome the Coffee Crew, aka authors Phillipa Ashley, Elizabeth Hanbury and Nell Dixon, who, as well as telling us their inspirational story, reflect on eBooks - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

    And finally, Lisa brings eBook Fortnight to a close on Friday with a search for some of the best, brightest (and cheapest) e-books on the market.
