Everyone should be outraged and ashamed that after everything we claim we've learnt from history, this is still happening here....

To get you in the mood for plenty of backstabbing election drama, may I recommend GAY CLUB! (Features all the kids the rancid Conservatives and right-wing press will throw under the bus during the campaign!) 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ It’s the race to be president of a school LGBTQ+ society…


Went along to this tonight and it was absolutely brilliant!

Can’t wait to hear from the fantastic Phillipa Sherlock Lewis to celebrate fantastic Women in Leadership tonight!

Yes - the single, most transformational commitment to children a new government could make would be to a library and qualified librarian in every school.


I love this

In case it's helpful, here's the word count guidelines I've recently added to one of my form rejections. Middle-grade (contemporary): 30k-60k Middle-grade (SFF): 50k-70k YA (contemporary): 50k-80k YA (SFF): 70k-100k Adult fiction: 70k-120k Adult SFF: 100k-150k (1/3)

The perennial question about word counts has reared its head again, leaving all SFF, historical fiction & multi-pov writers questioning their existence. Maybe I could cut off a chunk of my magic system, drop a main character or just summarise with a lot of telling.

Several weeks of terrible sleep has left me shattered, and I’ve been SO busy since finishing work… this is where I plan to stay for the rest of the evening, with @CynthiaMurphyYA’s new book for company! 🎄🩸📖
