Our hearts go out to Helen Haines MP, her family, her staff, and the Australian people as they process this devastating news.

Do read novelist Ros Barber's story. She spoke to me about why 'big game hunters' go for the lion and get pleasure out of crushing powerful women who believe in equality. She's currently writing a blistering memoir on Substack to help other women
As her health deteriorated, Ros Barber felt increasingly trapped in a marriage she could no longer bear.
She recounts how she survived and eventually escaped the marriagem and secured full custody of her children.

Huna: a Memoir of Revolution, Prison Becoming by Abdelrahman ElGendy, an author and translator from Cairo & winner of the Samir Kassir Press Freedom Award, is a finalist for the National Book Award 2026!

Huna by Abdelrahman ElGendy is out today!
A gripping and deeply moving memoir of survival, education, and resistance by a student protestor–turned–political prisoner in post-revolution Egypt.
In his remarkable debut, Abdelrahman offers not a promise of hope, but a provocation. When the very tenderness that can save you is used against you, how can you find the courage to love?

I’m not really on here any more but have popped back to ask if any agents or editors follow me here? I’ve just read THE MOST DELIGHTFUL novel involving faeries and Jane Austen characters and would love to put you in touch with the author if you think it might be for you…
So fortunate to have seen @eltonofficial twice on his Farewell To Yellowbrick Road tour. 💜

My first time in Poland!! That is my great-grandmother, Stephanie (Stella) Balko, and all I wanted when I got here was pierogi in honor of her & when she used to make them for us 🥟❤️
I come from Polish ancestry, so being here feels like coming home to a piece of my roots. Tonight we play a @pussycatdolls show in Warsaw & I am so excited to make Stella proud. 🇵🇱
