I'm not very good at remembering to post here, but my novel SERVICE (out June 2026) is part of the Waterstones pre-order offer! From today until Friday, you can take 25% off the price with the code OCTOBER25. Pre-ordering is a great way to support debut writers ❤️ www.waterstones.com/book/service...

I'd like to make it publicly known that, if they do, I am available 💫

Thank you so much!

This is an absolute banger of a @bigfinish.bsky.social story by @mooneylwrites.bsky.social & @stewartwpringle.bsky.social. Fascinating concept, very well executed. Claustrophobic, tense, with top-notch performances by Christopher Eccleston and Kelly Adams. A must-hear. #DoctorWho #AudioDrama

In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of woman in the Equality Act 2010, we send our support and solidarity to trans and intersex women across the UK. Clean Break is for all women, including trans and intersex women. We take an intersectional approach to understanding identity and know that womanhood is not a monolith. We acknowledge the specific experiences of discrimination and oppression that trans women, particularly Black trans women, face in wider society and in the sectors we work in. Whilst the impact of this ruling remains uncertain, we want to be clear that our services and who we serve will not be changing. Trans inclusivity will continue to be upheld as we work towards a world where all women are free to realise their full potential.

For more information about Clean Break's trans inclusion policy, please visit our website: cleanbreak.org.uk/policies

👻A spectre is haunting contemporary fiction – the spectre of former Liverpool English student @mooneylwrites.bsky.social's spooky debut novel about class and precarity, Service, which will be published by Manilla Press in summer 2026! Huge congratulations! We can't wait!📚

Wrote a whole bloody book didn't I? Beyond delighted that SERVICE will be published in June 2026 by @manillapress.bsky.social 💫

Manilla Press pre-empts Lauren Mooney’s 'wildly entertaining' Gothic workplace novel Manilla Press has preempted Service by Lauren Mooney, a working-class writer based in South London, in a two-book deal.

Bloody hell @mooneylwrites.bsky.social smashing it absurdly hard this month - so proud of her for this beautiful modern ghost story, which has so much of her heart and mind and rage and brilliance inside it - SERVICE, out next year from @manillapress.bsky.social www.thebookseller.com/rights/manil...

Oh mate!! How kind. Hope you enjoy. X

I'm afraid what risks 'hollowing out' London is property prices, foreign consortia owning countless empty buildings, rental costs, the decimation of nightlife, gentrification and Pretification and the demise of in person shopping. It should be somewhere we want to go not have to.

Driftwood - Unity Theatre An inspiring story about hope, love and belonging.

Tonight, DRIFTWOOD is in Liverpool! A handful of tix left! www.unitytheatreliverpool.co.uk/whats-on/dri...

I wrote about our show. Previews start tonight! royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/mor... Tickets very limited so please get booking if you want to join us 🤖

The carnage this caused on the group chat really made my Monday

Tonight we open at the Yard, and we also invite you to a Grief Mixer next Tuesday 4 Feb. DM us if you want a discount code for that Eve as well!

File this under ‘how have we been allowed to get away with…?’ @mooneylwrites.bsky.social and I bringing this chapter of the Paternoster Gang to a close this March bsky.app/profile/bigf...

We've written the final episode of the Trespassers saga and it is very very silly. Out in March!

Also, thanks so much to everyone who's already bought a ticket - it's January, we're all broke, and it means the world that so many people are willing to take a punt on us. Really excited to get this one in front of audiences, I gotta say.
