Having reached the end of my first gig writing for a video game, I'm on the hunt for a fellow writer I can chat to about... well, how to do more of it, and to make sure I'm getting the business end of it right. Is anyone able to help? A bit of time would be much appreciated!

A thread. If you're passing through Leeds on your way to Thought Bubble: The Yorkshire Comic Art Festival this weekend, you will be very close to OK Comics. You should pop in and say hello.

Jam looks like the sort of place I'd like to pester to stock my book in a year. They've got some great-looking stuff on their online shop - I just picked up Salt Lick by @LuluAllison77. Help a bookshop out?

My old bosses were Marcus, Gavin and Gareth, who you might have blown up with an exploding sheep in Worms, and I dealt with Team17 a bit while working as a games journo in Wakefield. Really sad to hear about the layoffs at the studio.
