Sometimes new writers ask me if I have any advice when it comes to querying - I have ONE SINGLE piece of advice - and that's to think about doing an agent 121 with @iaminprint.bsky.social

YES.
Writing: It may sound funny, but when writing, I listen for a certain rhythm for the words in my head, the right timing, a good word fit. And I keep writing until I find it, a certain extra lyrical feel to the writing. -Wrtr #amwriting ~ #author #writing

Another Saturday, another morning #writing club. This week's prompt: The Typo.

We had codeword mess-ups, big contracts foiled, inheritances nearly stolen & a manipulative assassin as our short stories. Have a go & let me know what you come up with. 15 - 20 mins. Let the words fall from your brain.

Well, I told you there were hoverbikes!

Editors, are you ready for this one?

I think this fantastical world was born of a youth obsessed with The Matrix, Dragonball Z, Garth Nix & Scott Westerfield.

@losbennett.bsky.social. And as much as it makes me cringe to admit, I really love it. A powerful coming-of-age #YA #fantasy where a teenage girl embraces her mixed heritage & her own hidden truth. Watch out for this #writingcommunity & #editors!

Sunday mornings are writing club mornings. Our prompt today was mythical creatures and night-time fire alarms. My short story was titled 'Bakhtut, or the Adventures of a Night Hag'.

The opening line?

Change is in the air, underscored by struggle and fear. It clouds the greying skies; an oozing discontent that's whispered across borders, across classes, across cultures. A cat's tail twitches, and the universe shouts back: 'We were meant to be so much more than this.'

Hello world! My name is Sophia and I write books about outsiders with magical powers, obsess about my cats, and generally fail at keeping my house tidy and my admin up-to-date.

I do my best work sat with awful posture on the sofa & a cat at my side.
