Julia H has arrived!

Writer pals - when is the appropriate time to 'shelf' your project/book? #WritingCommunity

I've only watched S1 of 'I Kissed A Girl' and omg I learnt so much terminology, it's crazy?! 😂 Granted this is not the same, but still!

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors

Back at it again this weekend - another chapter revised 😊

Reached Chapter 8 for Project 🌸 revisions today and I forgot how much I enjoyed writing this one 🥰

thanks so much! It was tough going there for a sec because I didn't think I would make it over the mountain 🤣

Revising Chapter 4 of Project 🌸 felt like a mountain I couldn't climb but I can finally say I DID IT 😮‍💨

Update: I managed to draft one full chapter as well as make a good start on a couple of other chapters! Thanks to everyone who sent me numbers (and for holding me accountable with writing) ☺️

hahaha yes I am planning to make them today!

It's Easter Bank Holiday Weekend which means I really don't have any excuse (apart from perhaps making mini egg brownies) to not write!

Someone please give me a number between 3-15 and I MUST draft that scene of Project Wrestling 🤼 by the end of this 4 day stretch 😤 #WritingCommmunity #amwriting

Anyone have experience using TrackBear or have any recs for tracking writing progress? #WritingCommunity

It's time to reunite with my summer book baby! Fourth draft of Project 🌸 let's goooooo #amwriting #wip #writingcommunity

Friends, I've finally put together a revision plan this weekend and will commence the fourth draft of this WIP from tomorrow...whoowhee, WE'RE BACK! 😤 #WritingCommunity

what do you mean I made a new moodboard for a WIP that isn't either of the two I'm currently working on? 🫣🤭

massive congratulations Michelle, this is fantastic news!

oh no :( feel better soon Bec!

Gosh I've done that too in certain chapters - realising there's too much waffle and not enough smooth flow in pacing is why I have decided to cut cut cut but I agree, it can be scary!

Revising my first chapter of Project Blossom 🌼 for the 5th/6th time now - think this must be a new world record! 😅 #WritingCommunity how many times have you revised a chapter?

hope you feel better soon Bec and well done on the word count!

yasss! A fellow Garage and R&B fan over here - envious you went to see Lemar last night. I saw Craig David play the O2 some years ago and he was fantastic.

thank you so much Jamie and congratulations to you again!

So so so grateful to have this honourable mention! Thanks so much Eunice Kim and @roundtablementor.bsky.social 🫶🫶🫶

Bookseller coverage of the Curae prize for writer-carers which Anna started

In 2022 I launched a new literary prize for writer-carers (UK & ROI), the #Curae award. A wealth of wonderful prizes from across industry, publication and many entries. The second prize opened 1/02/25 and so far we have far fewer entries. There are around 7million unpaid carers: industry PLEASE help

Last day to get a whole book I wrote for free. Please download it if you have a kindle 🫶🏻

last year bought some highs and many lows but one thing's for sure my writing comeback era is going to hit so hard in 2025 😤
