Do I know any cover singers near Leeds? I’m throwing myself a birthday party/book party on Halloween with readings and a ghost story open mic. My budget is £150. I’d like jazz and R&B music. If you’d like to share a 3-5 minute ghost story, let me know #birthday #leeds #party

I’ve recently found out the money I was expecting to be “paid on advance” isn’t paid on advance to me. So I may not be able to go to my first reading in the US. Do you use Patreon? If so, does it work for you? Also looking for writer in res opportunities

I’m late, but for International Women’s Day I’m celebrating characters I love. From Remembered: Ella, Agnes, Spring, Tempe, Mama Skins. From Curdle Creek, Osira of course, and also Mae, Mother Opal, and Cadence. What fictional characters are you celebrating for International Women’s Day?

I'm sorting out my Mother's Day Wishlist. First, is anyone up for a book club where we read from our favorite passages from Ms. Tina's book, then dance while a DJ plays music inspired by Matriarch? #bookclub the picture is from @waterstones.bsky.social pre-order
