I set the Prize puzzle in the Guardian:
Have group sex missing former partner, repeatedly (7)

Bless you. No idea why @privateeyenews.bsky.social wouldn’t print the acknowledgement with the puzzle. Ah well.

I set the Prize crossword in the Guardian.
A suit without protection? Michelle Mone attracts free money from these (9,6,8)
crosswords-static.guim.co.uk/gdn.cryptic....
I wrote an Epstein-themed puzzle for Guardian. It wasn’t suitable. So, I sent it to Cyclops for him to amend for @privateeyenews.bsky.social
It features my grid and clue at 1/4/21 across. They didn’t print the acknowledgment.
At least I got my clue published.

Well done, Mark

I set today’s cryptic crossword in the Guardian:
Tailor stripped lads before fitting (5)

I don’t get as much time as I’d like to set crosswords. However, occasionally, I get an idea that reminds me that I’m decent at it:
Alarming Epstein files involved arrangements of adults with children (6-6, 8)
I’ll have to use that.
It’s a fair comment

I set today’s cryptic crossword in the Guardian. I wrote it in August 2022.
Drug case for Supreme Court (6)
crosswords-static.guim.co.uk/gdn.cryptic....
I set today’s cryptic crossword in the Guardian. I wrote it in Sept 2022:
Change Labour Party: use consultants for new style (6, 8)
www.theguardian.com/crosswords/c... Cryptic crossword No 29,748 | Crosswords | The Guardian
It’s a better grid than the Guardian grids with under-checking in the five-letter lights
