It’s a drizzly, windy day in Edinburgh but Louise Court braved the elements and made it. Hurry! Climb! #youarehere #ONEDAY Sceptre Books

#YouAreHere Tour Week 2 is Edinburgh, Carlisle, Hexham, Newcastle, Leeds, Sevenoaks and Stratford, then oblivion. A huge thank you to all who've come along so far. More dates to come but for now, a bright day and my favourite journey.

Hi! Pls RT if poss- as a writer with a disability I’m finding it hard to find suitable part-time work atm & the small amount of income from my novels & notebooks does help. This month has been a slow one, so if you could be tempted to look at my Amazon author page, please do 💕

Lots of wonderful new books out at present. I loved this, the second novel by Jo, a sharp, painful comedy about fathers and daughters, art and life. Happy pub day, Jo...

Second year of this wonderful Young Writers’s Prize. Do share.

#YouAreHere is out! A HUGE (caps) thank you to the brilliant Federico AndornINo and all the team at Sceptre Books, to the authors who gave wonderful quotes, the early readers and everyone coming to events. I'm very proud of this one which, I hope, is funny and passionate and optimistic.

I'm shocked to realise that I've never done a book event in Glasgow. That's to be remedied in June, courtesy of Aye Write. Please do come along if you can.

We are off: David Nicholls’s YOU ARE HERE is officially launched with a brilliant event at Southbank Centre with the one and only Dolly Alderton.

What a thrill to finally be able to share this gem of a book with readers.

It was such a pleasure to start the #YouAreHere tour, talking to Dolly Alderton at Southbank Centre. A huge thank you to all who came along, and on a Sunday night too!

I also really enjoyed this conversation with Chris Wasser for the Sunday Independent. Looking forward to International Literature Festival Dublin in May

I very much enjoyed talking to Eva Wiseman about #YouAreHere and other things for The Observer (I suspect I may well write another love story). Sceptre Books Hodder & Stoughton

Friends in the USA/Canada, #YouAreHere is out on 28th May and available to pre-order now...

I was sad to hear of Aye Write ‘s uncertain future, pleased to hear there’s temporary funding for some events. I’ll be in Glasgow on 14th June. Also Val McDermid Damian Barr James O'Brien, many more. Here’s to a more certain future.

Loved ⁦David Nicholls⁩’s bracing and beautiful You Are Here. My review in ⁦Observer New Review⁩ theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

ICYMI, in Guardian Saturday I wrote about walking solo, books with maps, melancholy and loneliness. A little more personal usual but I hope there's something in it. Beautiful photos in impossible conditions by Cian Oba-Smith. Chilblains - model's own #YouAreHere
