If you’re heading out to watch the new #wutheringheights movie, you might enjoy some light Brontë background info to get you in the mood! Go to Season 4, Episode 3 of The Failing Writers Podcast on any platform. With a biographer, an English Prof and a guide at the Bronte Museum … It’s a beauty! 😃

More Scottish 🏴 shenanigans this week with the brilliant, genre-eschewing @dougjohnstone.bsky.social. We caught up with him in the Holyrood 9A for a pint and a fascinating natter… check the link int’ bio

It’s so important to somehow FIND TIME TO WRITE. Not suggesting you necessarily do a @michaelpedersen.bsky.social - but hope this serves to remind you to grab a bit of time this week for a scribble!
Boop our bio to hear more from this remarkable human…

Easy on the reins of the heart – it’s National Grief Awareness Week 2025. New grief, old grief, the anticipation of grief, the shouldering or witnessing of grief, grief by proxy, by package, by post. What a thing it is is love, miss, & to mourn. Here’s a new wee piece I’ve been tinkering with 💜💛🖤.

Supremely chuffed to see Muckle Flugga named as Irvine Welsh’s Novel of 2025 in The Observer.
‘told in a poet’s lush but drum-tight voice…as arresting as an airport thriller’ 💜💚🥰💚💜.

Just finished reading 1 of our absurdly talented listener’s books - @stgenevieve.bsky.social I thoroughly enjoyed this marvellously well observed, funny, and life affirming book!
And what’s this… you little tinker. You gave us an acknowledgement!
❤️😍
Well done! Bloody brilliant!

Absolutely welcome. A copy of @scrivenerapp.bsky.social and some glorious limited edition FWP merch being processed as we speak! (Way more coveted than the £500 obvs)

Blummin lovely chatting to ‘viral sensation’ (yep, that’s what I’m going with) @autumnwoods-author.bsky.social about getting TikTok to work for you, writing on a phone🤯 and planting your feet firmly on the ground while the world goes crazy.
