One of my favourite podcasts that I've done, @nadinematheson.com and I had a good nag about writing these book things, the five ring circus we call publishing, and how failed dreams can lead to new ambitions.

Writers, musicians, actors & other creators strongly oppose upending copyright law to favour AI companies, as suggested in the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan.

As Kate Mosse says, seeking economic growth "cannot be on the basis of theft of our work".

Important! We do not support the new exception to copyright in a consultation launched by the govt. Current copyright laws must be respected & enforceable.

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

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

This is your Black Friday reminder that actual book shops can't afford to discount like Amazon and supermarkets do. If you can, get full price books but also a full heart.

Delighted to announce that The Silent Killer has been optioned for TV by FilmNation TV UK which makes the @wearebookanista.bsky.social review seem very prescient indeed.
