Ok, so I’m not going to be on here much for the next 6 weeks as I hyperfocus my way through a major edit to my novel.

I know I’m going to miss out on a lot of news and friends’ flash publications though 😢

See you all on the other side!

A glass eye is what you consider ‘revolting’ and ‘disgusting’ PuffinBooks ? WTAF?? Do you not see how wrong this is? Did NOBODY say ‘hold on a minute, this is wrong’? This thoughtlessness is what is revolting

So, today’s the day all our rejections come back to life as acceptances, right???

I’ve just read that thing in The Cut and wow, fair play to the author for not giving a damn about unlikeable characters…

The absolute JOY seeing one of my books on the timeline 😍 (And in such terrific company too!) Thank you, Elissa Field

I haven’t read Mathias Enard, and I want recommendations! Where should I start?

Wow! Fucking hell, this is wow. Extraordinary writing, Claudia Monpere

New rule - I will never again pay to submit to a competition where, after I’ve submitted, they say only those shortlisted will hear ANYTHING, (and then publish that shortlist only in a paywalled publication). If a fee is paid, the least you can do is send an email.

How is it not Friday yet? I mean, it’s soon, right? Like, maybe tomorrow, or at the very latest, the day after??
