TOM ROBINSON

Tom Robinson first started working as a bookseller in 2007 as he was completing a postgraduate degree in art. He has since worked in numerous bookshops of various shapes and sizes, and in 2021 – as pandemic restrictions eased – he opened Gloucester Road Books on Bristol’s iconic high street. In the past year, the shop has launched a monthly fiction subscription, as well as welcoming writers including Alejandro Zambra, Mick Herron and Zadie Smith to Bristol for events.
