An only child, I often feel I write as an act of commemoration and remembrance, as an attempt to stop the memories of my family from escaping, given that I have no close relatives left to remind me of them...

The most difficult element of writing to master is structure. Anyone can stumble across a lovely word or a stylistic flourish. But structure requires big picture thinking and the grind of coherence and cohesion. Outsource your writing to AI and that's where I suspect you'll struggle most long-term.

This book has all the magic I've come to expect from Ross Montgomery. It's imaginative but also deeply human. His stories are just unforgettable. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social #edusky #MGlit
