Novel Impressions is funded by the British Academy Rising Star Engagement Awards. It is a network of early career researchers, printers, and curators interested in the book history of the eighteenth-century novel. The network are running a series of print workshops for public audiences. Many of these have been postponed due to the global pandemic.

The project is led by Dr Helen Williams, Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Northumbria University. Dr Katie Aske is the Events Assistant, facilitating workshop evaluation and supporting network members. Novel Impressions is endorsed by Prof. Pat Rogers, Fellow of the British Academy.
