Late to @sweetoblivion.bsky.social and @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social Get Around It podcast this week. It's a great one for book/TV lovers. Interviews with @ronanhession.bsky.social , Andrea Mara and Catherine Ryan Howard about their novels that were adapted to hit TV shows. linktr.ee/getaroundtoit

This is good advice - have encountered situations where writers assumed they would be in best of lists, round-ups etc and were agog when they weren't. Being on the side that also writes these things, I know it's never personal & can be for loads of often practical reasons.

Delighted to be in the position to :) Huge congrats on it all!

Really appreciate you chatting to Lauren for the pod! So interesting to hear the back story

Thanks so much Jackie! I learned TONS from them all about it!
