Here's a fabulous project via @MelCityofLit - I'm listening to the Emerging Writers' Festival playlist 'Haunt' and reading artists' responses, starting with @SimoneAJordan's piece on Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny (1959), and honestly I have tingles all over emergingwritersfestival.org.…
I'm hugely excited to be spending November as a @MelCityofLit Virtual Writer in Residence, hosted by Moorabool Libraries and working with schools and a writers' group in Victoria. I'm looking forward to meeting the other seven writers in residence too! 🌏

With Moorabool Libraries hosting me, it would be rude not to read Illywhacker by Peter Carey, who was born in Bacchus Marsh in the Shire of Moorabool. The Illywhacker is giving me a tour. 'She stood in the middle of the Bacchus Marsh-Geelong Road enveloped in a shimmer of turps'

I started my @MelCityofLit residency with a virtual tram ride, eavesdropping on Route 59: School Days Past by Sharmini Kumar via the Tramlines podcast broadwavepods.com/tramlines featuring stories by local writers inspired by local tram journeys. Thank you @sharminime @broadwavepods!

28 days into the public consultation and - after a bit of a nudge - NCC are finally using their social media accounts to encourage responses. By coincidence the draft strategy identifies 28 areas as library access points. Please make your views known. RTs appreciated
📚 Help shape the future of our libraries! We want your views on our draft ten-year strategy aimed at enhancing services and ensuring financial sustainability. Make sure to have your say before 13 November 2024! Have your say ➡️ orlo.uk/LibraryStrategy_93oy…

The Good Unknown and Other Ghost Stories by @Stevevolkwriter is an excellent collection of compassionate, creepy and chilling stories - highly recommended. And what a treat to see the short film of 'Baby on Board', beautifully directed by @ADBarker, at @EdgeLitDerby 👻🤍

Thanks to @nicholasroyle for this gorgeous bundle of new @nightjarpress chapbooks. It was a huge pleasure to find a @meganjstaylor story in there, so that's where I started - ‘The Grandchildren’ is beautifully written and deliciously horrifying 🖤🐦‍⬛🧤
