Robert Rankin accurately predicted this in Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls. A book everyone who works in a creative field should read, incidentally.
I hate the Grinch with an absolute passion, can’t stand the thing, so I find it upsetting he’s becoming more and more a part of Christmas. Not in this house. No sir.

Or, in this case, a trans teenage girl.
look how easy "they/them" becomes when it's to misgender a trans woman, incredible 🤪

SBLM is one of Justin Meyers / The Guyliner’s top three reads of 2025!! What a sublime honour. In celebration, everyone go read Justin’s book ‘The Glorious Dead’. Thank me later.

Absolutely. I want to add that if you have had ANY work at all published in the UK, in magazines, journalism, fiction, you should join ALCS. I reliably get £500 - £4000 a year from them for licensing rights and the small time cost on my side of filling in a form listing eligible works. They're great
I’d suspect the numbers here are actually even lower than this. This report is only based on authors who shared details of their income with the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS). That’s more likely to be the ones who write as part of their living.
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

The third best thing is to leave a review!
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Hector had been such a yob at the cat hotel that they had to ask me to get him into his carrier because they didn’t want to do it, and before I stepped into the enclosure they asked if I wanted cat-proof gloves.
A yob! An antisocial yob!
