Had the best time at @scribelounge.bsky.social Live last weekend, brilliant to be there in person with so many writing pals. Massive thanks to the whole SL team and all the panelists. What a fabulous event!

Scribe Lounge Live was fantastic.

Us writers might have a tendency to stay in our caves, but we made the effort to show up last week!

Due to other commitments I’ll miss this important and prescient live @scribelounge.bsky.social event. If you’re a working class screenwriter I highly recommend turning in as we get to grips with raising awareness and tackling lack of opportunity for w/c writers. #ScriptSkyUK #WritingCommunity
