I’m not really on here any more but have popped back to ask if any agents or editors follow me here? I’ve just read THE MOST DELIGHTFUL novel involving faeries and Jane Austen characters and would love to put you in touch with the author if you think it might be for you…
Lovely bookish people of twitter — are you an author who’s finished writing a novel and now needs help getting an agent? My brilliant author friend, Kate, is teaching this Jericho Writers course to help with exactly that: jerichowriters.com/creative-…

Random question, I know, but a friend’s daughter (age 15) is keen to pursue a career in publishing & is looking for a week’s w/exp next summer (by which time she’ll be 16 & will have finished her GCSEs). She’s in commutable distance of London & is ideally looking for something…

I’m not really on here much at all these days, but couldn’t resist coming back to shout about a book I edited (as a freelancer this time, not in-house). #Redline is a thrilling read in every sense; dark, tense and unpredictable, I highly recommend!

English and Latin have a hidden connection that no one notices.
If a word begins with ‘f’ in English, it begins with ‘p’ in Latin.
Take the word “father.” The Latin for father is “pater” — with a ‘p.’
And that’s just the beginning.
It’s crazy, but here’s how it works… 🧵

Brazilian man left his car window open overnight. The following morning he found a sloth hanging from the steering wheel.
Had a hospital appointment today; would have been 45 minutes each way by car (assuming no traffic). I went by train. 6 trains to be exact. 7 different stations. Round trip (including 50 minutes at the hospital): 7 hours. Am shattered now!

I’ve just ordered a copy from my local Waterstones. Doesn’t it look beautiful?

Hi crew! I’m running a FREE online masterclass on short story structure on Jan 20th from 7-8pm GMT. IMHO most writers suck at stories (including myself for over a decade) not because of problems of character/description/vivid plots but the problem of structure. Join me for a deep drill.
