I tried to find a larger venue for our sold out event with @junodawson.bsky.social this Saturday but I haven't had any luck. Some people may want to get a signed copy of the book, so just order a copy here and we will get Juno to sign it for you share.google/OXQcof0xlpD0...

NEW POSTER!

Here's my poster for THE INTERSTELLAR SONG CONTEST! Such a mad, mad, mad episode!! 🎤🎸💥

"I've never seen him like this before, and trust me, if he's angry, this whole world is going to shake."

#DoctorWho #posterdesign #NcutiGatwa @junodawson.bsky.social @posterspy.com

This is a poster for Doctor Who: The Interstellar Song Contest, the sixth episode of Season 2.

It features the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda side by side, looking really troubled and split by a soundwave and inside the soundwave is a close-up shot of Susan Foreman's eye. On the bottom, in the foreground, there's Kid and Wynn, the Hellions with horns on their head, looking at each other surrounded by a circular ripple wave, standing in front of a dark triangle.

In the middle, it says "The Interstellar Song Contest" and underneath, it says "100,000 spectators. 3,000,000,000,000 viewers. 1 Delta Wave Bomb. One way out."

My watermark is on the bottom left corner.

The BIG DEALS were done months ago, they just save the press releases for max impact.

As ever, just write your fecking book.

If you're at LBF, I am wishing you hand sanitiser and short toilet queues. And authors: ignore anything about "hot books" or "massive deals". The truth of LBF is needing the loo and terrible coffee.

And I very clearly remember being asked if I could get a A+ list author to blurb my debut. I was a primary school teacher with 500 followers so…no?

Just a line to express solidarity with Dr Upton who has had the courage to face down her critics in Scotland.

I know that she has the support of her work colleagues.

Her stand is important for all trans employees and their use of gender-appropriate facilities, to which they have every right.

But I see a Christmas Day where lots of gammon uncles open their present, say “hahaha woke is dead! He just says what we’re all thinking!” and then never pick it up again.

Sometimes you really remember that publishing is a business and no matter how damaging a message is, if people will buy it, they’ll sell it.

If you’re into urban fantasy, you need to read this series. @junodawson.bsky.social is a masterful writer that knows how to tell a good story and leave you wanting more. They say that messages in books need to be subtle so not to ruin the story, they apparently never read her books. 5/5 ⭐️
