Hi. Just saw this. On holiday at the moment, b he if you DM me on Facebook or Instagram I’ll answer as soon as I can.

Newspaper stand with newspapers all carrying the front page Campaign 'make it fAIr'

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.

I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Congratulations to all on the #TheBranfordBoaseAward #LL.

Delighted to see the lovely @zeenagos.bsky.social on there with her novel This Dark Heart, and the fabulous @sharadakeats.bsky.social with These Stolen Lives.

Good luck to all!

This Dark Heart nominated for the Branford Boase award!

Finally got a picture on the moon at Waterstones Piccadilly, and signed the last book they had in stock because they’d pretty much sold out.

Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

I wrote a blog post for SAILfest. It’s specifically about being from marginalised communities and whether you’re allowed to write about that community if you don’t completely fit into it.

Children's books are never "just" for children. They are books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are really books for EVERYONE, and you can never, ever, EVER be too old to read them, and to love them!

Here's my original email. The list of "sensitive" subjects is scarily broad and also vague, and covers most marginalized people and communities.

I avoided writing for an entire week! I’m very bad at taking a break and I was reaching the point of burn out, so I needed this.

Yay! congratulations. Now go get the wine.

Excited for all the books I want to read this Christmas and scared I won’t find the time.
