Carl Burkitt’s NEW #FlashFiction #collection I GOT A JOB “is hilarious, peculiar, well-observed & heartbreaking. It is a mate sharing #stories in the pub. It is @carlburkitt.bsky.social’s attempt at imagining a more colourful, job-hopping life in 100 short #tales.” 💬🖋️

Coming Soon... The next #book from ABP will be #FlashFiction collection I GOT A JOB by @carlburkitt.bsky.social 📖👀

Carl likes telling tales. He likes to tell them online, behind a mic, in #books, in schools & on the sofa with his young family. Carl has only ever had 6 #jobs in his life… for now.

FINALLY grabbed myself a copy of ‘Blue Jelly and Strawberries’ by @attielime.bsky.social.

Disturbed how she seems to have jumped into my son’s mind and bought his dream to life with ‘Best Tree Ever’.
