Melissa Chaplin

@almostbedtime.bsky.social just to let you know, this is one of my favourite Christmas presents. Lovely work!

I would read Tana French’s shopping list the woman is a genius

Thank you!

It’s ok I have successfully secured a copy for Christmas!

Is there any way to get the physical copy in the UK? I run an archive/library and have two apprentices, I need this

Honestly the short story is the novel I’m writing did. The long one is I really did a big life change, I went to an art history summer school, volunteered, and was over the moon to get the role. The stars really aligned for me!

Haven’t posted on here in a while so probably worth reintroducing myself. I’m Melissa, I’m writing a book staggeringly slowly. This year I moved from working in video games to historic archives.

I made a little video about the new V&A exhibition Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto and how you can go even if you can’t get tickets…

Incredibly excited for this!

Started experimenting with this planner by Fast Brain Friend. It’s forgiving of missed days, changes layout every day, and covers just one month so you don’t get overwhelmed. So far I’m loving it!

I admire your commitment, I’m melting in my goosebumps t shirt

Oh now this is awesome!

Came here from insta- I’ve just been recommending Dark Archives to everyone on TikTok 😅

I don’t know also hello I am on this too

I’m sure I will- I actually just made this silly video about it. Hope this gives you and the rest of the team a giggle! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJCCCMTr/

I’m so excited for this book!
