Yesterday interviewed #JessicaMoor about her novel #HoldBackTheNight. It's a powerful, thought-provoking read and there was so much to talk about. Jessica teaches Creative Writing at @FaberAcademy which made her doubly interesting to writers in the audiance and me! @W4BookFest

Thinking of all the wonderful attendees at my @W4BookFest weekend Workshop this morning, sitting at their desks trying to write. As I am at mine…
You never ‘become’ a writer. You just keep trying to be one.

A fascinating evening of history @W4BookFest listening to Adam Smyth @AdamSmy36314691 speaking about his new book “The Book Makers” - A History of the Book in 18 Remarkable Lives. Thank you @TorinDouglas for another Great event! #ChiswickBookFestival #TheBookMakers #London #books

Another lovely event at the Chiswick Book Festival yesterday. Huge thanks to everybody who came to see me, to @jojames100 and the festival team for hosting me and to Catherine Ward for tech support and queue marshalling. And you’ll never guess what: once again, the actual Peanut Jones turned up! What are the chances?

It’s our 18th wedding anniversary today. Is 18 years the egg anniversary? You would think so given the kitchen table this morning… (yes, we bought each other the same card) 🥚

Well done Rob for also doing your signing and artwork for the kids for over 2 hours after you finished your event. (Yours truly was observing from the Box Office tent). There were some very happy kids walking past!

Strike while the Irons hot…
Fantastic to welcome the effortlessly charming Jeremy Irons last night to close out our exclusive Pinter on Screen season with a full house.
Stay tuned for some big announcements about the next programme very soon.
