Trying to build up my Blue Sky feed into what my Twitter feed used to be... Does anyone have recommendations of some great accounts they follow? Doesn't even need to be book related but humour/good news/people being nerdily passionate about things all appreciated!

Which UK fiction editors love an RPG? TTRPG or otherwise? Wave at me if you love things like Zelda, Final Fantasy, D&D or even some cosy farming sims. I feel like there's a load of us out there, but I need the fellow nerds to reveal themselves 🤓⚔️

God, isn't this exhausting? We're all so tired! Not only is the criteria SO odd (prizes skew towards literary fiction) but this doesn't reflect many books bringing in so much money to the industry. But an editor is so much more than this... As is the whole teams behind these successes.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

Non-book related advice please! Having a bout of insomnia & can't handle being a zombie for any longer SO, any tips?
I've tried:
- no caffeine
- baths before bed
- no phone before bed
- melatonin
- Kalms
The main issue is staying asleep & entering deep sleep. My fitbit is concerned...

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

Hi! My name is Hannah & I'm a literary agent for commercial fiction. It's Working In Publishing week and my top advice is to think outside the box & to hold the friends you make close!
The people of publishing (editors, agents, authors) are the best bit... Even more so than the books!
