So chuffed to see my book in the 'most popular' (by sales) Crime & Thriller Reads in THE TIMES book shop...Next to Robert Galbraith (aka JK ROWlLING!)... out of the 11,000+ books for sale 😀 #books #readingcommunity #BookTwitter #writerscommunity #writerslife #readers #books toread

So excited to be heading back to Cambridge ICE Centre for Creative Writing -Cambridge University today for a panel I'm chairing tomorrow of top agents! Shame my train's just been cancelled & I'm fighting off yesterday's migraine but I will make it! #Cambridge #writerscommunity #writing #writersoftwitter

Thanks PageTurnerAwards. Only just seen this! This competition is a great springboard for a writer's career, and I was so chuffed to be a finalist and Best Title winner. #WritingLife #writing #books #BooksWorthReading #books potlight #readingcommunity #WritingCommunity

The disconnect between people at horse races & horses that suffer must end (horse being destroyed at Aintree yesterday as more bets are placed on next race) The welfare & protection of horses must be top priority for the horse racing industry in future #GrandNational2024

Still so chuffed to have the first book listed on here as one of the 'most wanted crime books of 2024' 🥰🥰

Following on from my post the other day, now a signing of those books at my old haunt! Still a bit floaty 😁. #Waterstones #bookshop #bookstagramuk #booklovers #readingcommunity #readers oftwitter #readers #bookstoread

Very exciting to chat to UK Crime Book Club about Bird Spotting...

Biggest bookshop in Europe! #waterstonespicadilly #books #readerscommunity #readersoftwitter #books hop #bookblog #books toread

I used to come in this shop practically every day when I worked in Crawley - for 7.5 years! Now my little book is on the big Crime & Mystery table :) What a dream 😍 #vervebooks #bookstagramuk #books2024 #bookblog ging #bookblog #readingtoescape #readership #readersoftwitter

Since I first posted this, it has had hundreds of reposts, so I think it's time I posted it again.
Check the 'Z' on the keyboard.

Sky's End got over 100 literary agent rejections.

But it got me an agent, a trilogy book deal, became an NYT bestseller, and has deals with five foreign publishers.

If you still believe in your book, and there are still reputable agents out there, it isn't over yet.

When I was pregnant with my little boy, I read Elmet by Fiona Mozley & her writing made me realise I finally needed to sit down& write stories. So it's thrilling to be sitting on the shelf right next to her work :) (thanks to our surnames).

Sophie Morton-Thomas Congratulations! I know it’s tough but this book has gone so well. You’re only at the beginning of a stellar career 😊

Sometimes I feel like giving up on writing, with all the stresses of my job, my child & the uncertainty of writing. So I'm chuffed to see my little audiobook doing well at #58 in the BESTSELLERS chart for Domestic Thrillers (not Hot New Releases this time) #writing #Books
