Huge jubilation from everyone at Seren for dear glynfedwards who is not only a great writer but an absolutely lovely person.

You can now pre-order Portrait in Mustard Waterstones which made me very excited. Coming out in October Seren ❤️

I used to hide away in Canton Library in the early days of writing and researching #TheSameCountry. So it seems the perfect place to talk about it. Join us!

What a delight to read this wonderful and insightful review of Hollywood or Home (especially on a Monday) and such understanding of my intention. Really thrilled! Thank you, team Nation.Cymru. Hugely appreciated. nation.cymru/culture/poetry…

Seeing the cover of my new book has made me emotional. 4 years ago I was just about to leave being an air hostess, and after a lot of hard work, good luck and the support from many lovely people, here we are. Often I am asked if there is a need to write of sex. Yes, there is.

I am SO excited to be reading alongside Dr Kim Moore and Laura Strickland at Rise Up on 31st July. A bakery! With poems! If you're anywhere near York, please grab a ticket and come 💜
