👏 👏 👏

Huge shout out to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social for bringing together such an incredible group of women. I was honoured and humbled to be among them 🙏✨🙌

I can't take any credit for this. I am just glad @thebrokenspine.co.uk is able to platform @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social and her vision. It was an amazing event, so much talent! Extremely moving and affecting. I was always proud of my record publishing women, but this is something else! #NotJustPretty

Well, #NotJustPretty was an absolute blast. I'm a little teary after hearing @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social read my fave poem from her forthcoming collection. Compound that with the event itself, the vision from @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social wonderfully hosted! Everything we could have wanted!

Congratulations to @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social for hosting and facilitating an amazing kick-off event yesterday for #NotJustPretty!

Missed it? Don’t worry! There are two coming soon to a Zoom near you! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#NotJustPretty: Meet the Artists Leading the Charge - The Broken Spine On October 4, 2025, we’ll be launching #NotJustPretty — a new series that celebrates artists who identify as women. For us, this project is about refusing to

#NotJustPretty — we don’t platform women to show them. We publish them to hear them.

Poetry. Art. Defiance.

Big thanks and love to @atriumpoetry.bsky.social for publishing my one and only sonnet (so far!), about the piratical ransack of hormones 🏴‍☠️

Can't wait for my copy of this gorgeous anthology produced by Scarlet Tiger Press. I have a poem, alongside @marcellenewbold.bsky.social & @northseanavigator.bsky.social 😍

Two poetry acceptances in the last few days have really cheered me up #blueskypoets #creativelife
