I've got quite a few questions through DMs recently about little things re the publishing industry. It's great to see people trying to improve their chances. If you've got any questions, comment here and I'll do my best to answer it x #WritingCommunity #writingtip #writers

Such a little thing, and an important thing, to get kids reading

I applied to my first #shortstory writing competition in ages today! Really excited, and excited to be getting back into it

What are you looking for in your next read? I'm hunting for an academic urban fantasy

Competency p*rn. That's my favourite bit in any book I've realised. Reading about someone just being really really good at something. Especially something roguish.

What do we think of love triangles? Overused? Still great? Time to upgrade to love squares? #RomanticSuspense #writing

How do you like to open a novel? Slow burn or in the middle of the action? #writing

One day I'm going to get to the point as a writer when I'm just straight up making up words, and I for one cannot quomf. #writers #writerslife

I honestly find writing the synopsis harder than writing the book itself. I can't be the only one??? 😂 #WritingCommunity

I wonder how many fantastic works of fiction have come into existence because the writer had other things going on in their life

What one trope always brings a smile to your face? For me, I love a good rogue with a heart of gold #WritingCommmunity

Really excited to be back, I'm now settled in as a teacher (and loving it) and am finally ready to get back to all things books. Anyone else coming back after a break? #teacher #WritingCommunity

Pen name or no pen name? I was told my real name was too foreign for the UK, so pen name it is 🥲 #WritingCommunity #writingadvice #writing

I've just entered the #warhammer40k Black Library Open Submissions short story competition and am so excited! The odds are always so long on any writing competition, but I just love the hope I feel when I get to writing. I can't be the only one right??? #shortstories #writing

Sorry I've been so absent on here (I've been busy as heck training to be a teacher!!!) but I'm going to try and get back on here more, and as ever, I love all you weird and wonderful writers, and your wacky and wild worlds ❤️❤️❤️

Just between us friends, is your MC a good person? #writingcommunity Mine is, but I will say an extremely nosy one 😂

Such an interesting and fun read! I've been making my way through a whole bunch of dystopia/utopia books at the moment, and #ThePower is easily one of the best. Super dark as well, which always feels more realistic. Any of you read it?

What clichés annoy you the most? #WritingCommunity For me it's probably the plot being driven by problems that only exist because MCs won't talk to one another.

Do you believe there are books everyone should read?

Just arrived in Oxford- excited for the year ahead! And quietly, super quietly, hoping some of the literary brilliance from this city rubs off on me 😂 will keep you all informed

What's the most powerful book you've ever read? For me, it's 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee'. Changed my whole perspective on the American West and set me off on a path to specialise in Native history.
