After weeks of revision I just want to give a shout out to my #novel #editor @jmcm.bsky.social who has offered me such valuable advice, guidance and insight. As a fan of her writing I was open to her suggestions and have cut scenes and merged characters. All for the better. I'd highly recommend her👌
Some CNF advice from our @jmcm.bsky.social , @frazzledlit.bsky.social Well worth a read if you're planning to submit to us before the end of the month!
I had the pleasure of many great chats in recent years, having met Manchán through his family. Most recently sitting on the stairs of the Irish Writers Centre with our tea talking about the thin veil. A remarkable man who will be greatly missed. Condolences to his family.
Well done, Molly 👌
There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
Really well done, Anne. Congratulations 📚💐
Have a cuppa and time out with the The Waxed Lemon
