Re the Society of Authors appalling vote on #Gaza at the EGM on May 2nd and steps to take for members and those who have recently resigned (like me)

Introducing #TheFestivalOfBrilliant ! My last event of the year until Amazing Asia is out. And what a fabulous line-up this is! 🎉

Just want to say the lovely team at The Week Junior reached out and were so understanding and apologetic and that means a lot. Like I said… love this magazine. And besides, as an NF writer I know how hard it is to struggle with word counts!!

Join us for the next #ScotFriendlyBookTour event, in partnership with EmpathyLabUK, celebrating #EmpathyDay with award-winning children's author Rashmi Sirdeshpande!

We're delighted to see #AllStories2024 back again to support writers from underrepresented groups, and proud to be partnering with them later in the year on some exciting stuff! Do apply for this invaluable chance of support!

Boosting! Anyone have any tips for Maria Motunrayo Ayinke Adebisi🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩✊🏿?

While developing my novel which has chronic illness themes, All Stories was such a supportive, accessible, welcoming space. Workshops were recorded, my mentor was so flexible and kind. If you're a disabled/chronically writer, do consider this glorious opportunity. ♥️📚✍️

Just LOOK at that list! Some of my absolute favourites on there. Go Scholastic UK championing comics!

I'm delighted to be a patron of #AllStories2024 ! The programme will once again offer in-depth mentorships to children's book writers from underrepresented groups, alongside vital grassroots events. If you're looking to develop your work, do check it out: allstories.org.uk

At the doctor’s with a numbed out nose and throat hoping to finally get to the bottom of a longstanding hearing issue that hasn’t been too fun. Mystery of mysteries.
