Hi Readers! We’ve been away doing Stuff, most recently the @writingwestmids.bsky.social conference which of course was excellent. Here’s a snap of what you missed! @leenanorms.bsky.social @riotcommons.bsky.social @jaccigooding.bsky.social @gwynethbox.bsky.social #authors #writingcommunity #books 📚📝

It’s a great story. Best of luck elsewhere with it. 👍🏻

Looking forward to it! Tickets on sale everybody- and limited for Gabrielle ‘s workshop so…. be quick! 😀

Hurrah!
It does feel a little like starting all over again doesn't it, but I guess we have to move with the times 🤷

Liking that collection!

Couldn’t agree more

I’ve been a bit quiet here lately because a lot has been going on “IRL.” It’s hard sometimes to calm the mind enough to breathe and write. I’ll be back, though. Tip: It’s OK to take breaks when you have to. #WritingCommunity

At last we have been able to contact those who have been longlisted in our writing competition There have been a few personal hitches behind the scenes but we can now confirm all judging is done and the lucky short listers will know very soon if they’ve made it through. Thank you all for entering 🙏
