So the news is out!
We're Brighton Book Festival.
There's more information to come, but why not give us a follow while we create something magical ...

Hear No Evil is set in 1817 and inspired by the real-life case of Jean Campbell, who was the first Deaf person to be tried in a Scottish court. At the beginning of the book, Jean is being held in Edinburgh’s decaying Tolbooth prison. #HearNoEvil #HistoryWritersDay #Fiction

So good to see that #SAHLF is still having an impact 5 months later 🥰

This is so lovely.

This week we'll be sharing some of the highlights from SAHLF2021!

First up is 'Dangers of a Single Story: Diversity in UK Literary Culture', feat. Okechukwu Nzelu Yvonne Battle-Felton Neema Shah Prof. Pragya Agarwal and Professor Bambo Soyinka youtube.com/watch?v=WdP9Lc…

We are thrilled to collaborate with The Word in South Tyneside this September! There will be screenings of some #SAHLF2021 events - don't miss out!

Don't miss out! This book is superb.

I'm excited to finally say that I'M OPEN TO SUBMISSIONS! I'm looking forward to hearing from you all. Particularly writers from the north. I'd love to read something completely gripping and original. I'm looking for SFF, crime and thriller of every weird and wacky flavour.

If you missed watching this live in May 2021, here is the IGTV link The Stay-At-Home! Literary Festival #SAHLF2021 it was an honor to be here on Insta takeover session during the festival. Thankyou 🕯️Paper Nations University of Glasgow Dr Carly Brown #MariamSKChannel @Jo_Nissel instagram.com/tv/COiZ14TpCGO…

Still practising 🦄 Kathryn Koromilas 🌻 ‘s The Stay-At-Home! Literary Festival morning meditative-writing ideas - slowly encountering the day via writing, hand-copying a poem, etc. V helpful & #mindful refinement of morning pages idea - do work with her if you get chance!

“Take the free Stay At Home Fest for example – a brilliant example of democratising and demystifying the literary scene and bringing books and authors to readers.”

Yes! Online events must continue!

I've been lucky to work with Penny Batchelor - Author as part of the virtual The Stay-At-Home! Literary Festival and it will be a real shame if she and other authors won't be able to take part in events and festivals when 'normality' returns.

I have been working on a poem for *weeks*, inspired by one of the meditative writing sessions with 🦄 Kathryn Koromilas 🌻 at The Stay-At-Home! Literary Festival and I’m still waiting for that pop, when it all fits together like Tetris!
