The light is on for Karen Walker! @kawalker.bsky.social💡

“One Penny Sit-Up, Two Penny Hang” is an incredible piece of flash historical fiction that—in a bold voice—illuminates the raw realities of a woman engaged in sex work.

Check out Karen’s beautiful writing over at the site!

Very imaginative use of prompts: Fairground, Hotel Cleaner and Tickets 🎫

For anyone who's interested, I'm teaching a workshop in a couple of weeks (2nd Sep) called "I Hear Voices." It's all about:

levels of voice
what defines voice
vocab, imagery, description, style
authenticity, appropriation, consistency

Should be lots of fun!!
