Over-use of dialogue tags and adverbs tends to draw attention away from the actual content of your dialogue. If you need to say in every case HOW someone said something, then consider that perhaps WHAT you made them say wasn't interesting enough.
Lest we forget about our families' journeys through the post-war period....This is @rorycj.bsky.social 's captivating memoir about his mum, his dad, the BBC and a generation of talented women for whom doors often remained closed... Available from Amazon amzn.to/414HqwC & Waterstones bit.ly/4aNDyTH

Cover of The Compendium of the Occult by Liz Williams, published by Thames and Hudson.
No bookshop can stock all titles. No bookseller can keep current with all publications. If Amazon discount and next day delivery aren't factors for you, ordering from your local bookshop alerts staff to new things. I ordered this and a bookseller bought their own. Sometimes they add a copy to stock.

I read Airplane Mode by Shahnaz Habib a few months ago (Thank you @septemberbooks.bsky.social ) I found it compelling, witty, nuanced & devastating on the many ways that colonialism is embedded in the experience of travel. I think it is a must-read. #books #travelwriting #creativenonfiction

Coming in February 2025: a brand new edition of the much-loved cult classic If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon Blackie.
'And if we rise up rooted, like trees … well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.’
"...one must work and be bold if one really wants to live." Vincent to Theo, 1885.
'Advice for the Soul' from the letters and sketches of Vincent van Gogh. Available from all good bookshops soon. Or here: septemberpublishing.org/product/advi...
Our first post & it's a celebration! Shahnaz Habib's Airplane Mode:Travel in the Ruins of Tourism has just won the New American Voices Award. 'I thought of all the young women who travel - the intrepid ones and the shy ones - against all the odds piled up on our way. How strong and curious we are.'
