FINALLY Cookie has found something pink to wear for the launch of @elliekeel’s #TheFour HQ Stories. (He’s going to be gutted when I tell him kittens are not invited.)

There's some really good advice in here, for first-time and more established authors.

My take on trigger warnings (which comes with its own warning!)): theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

'If you think only lonely middle-aged women ‘fall for’ romance scams, you might be the perfect victim.'

Language matters. We don't 'fall for' a burglary as Becky Holmes reminded me yesterday.
Brava Becky Holmes hates spinach. Big thanks Katy Guest The Guardian.🙏🏼

Hi Sainsbury's, please process a refund for the items missing from my order (see DMs). It's your responsibility, not mine, to do this admin.

If you’re giving books for Christmas presents, why not order via The Kirkdale Bookshop who have been broken into and have suffered. Alternatively, use their page at the SPLENDID uk.bookshop.org/shop/KirkdaleB… where a cut of your charge goes to them.
Support local bookshops!

Guarantee this piece makes everyone who reads it hungry.

My friends, it's that time of year again, where we get to revisit the best tweet of ALL TIME!

**I AM HIRING** Are you incredibly organised and efficient? Do you love Excel? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment? Are you good with people? Do you love books? And do you believe that women's voices can make the world a better place? If so, Women's Prize needs you!

This has made me feel quite sad! But nothing can take away from the brilliance and beauty of The Orange.

Hi Victoria Plum, please can I talk to someone about a faulty item? It's impossible to find a way to do that on your website. I did once get a phonecall, but they said they needed to call me back later and then didn't...

I love that the panel of Experts here are basically Pratchett's biggest fans. Can't wait to talk to you all - see you soon!
