So she’s written this, had it edited, sub’d, proofread, typeset & art ed’d. And been paid, as have they. Then at weekend will likely read, see a play, watch something filmed by a crew of people like my son, or use work of copywriters/designers etc to visit/hol somewhere. Twat.
Happiest of Book Birthdays to award-winning @SarahHaggerHolt! Just Like Everybody Else is a compelling, moving and uplifting story about self-acceptance, coming out, family and surrogacy. It'll make you cry, but it'll also make you feel hopeful. I love this book.
🏳️🌈It's my book birthday today! 5th time now, and just as exciting and nerve-wracking as ever.
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE is now available from uk.bookshop.org/p/books/just… & gaystheword.co.uk/product-pa… & everywhere else!

One time I was texting my agent (long may she thrive), worrying about whether my work was good enough to be picked up by any editor on our sub list, & she said something I want y’all to internalize:
“We’re not going to compare ourselves to professionally edited, pubbed authors.”

Help! How do we get subtitles for #Eurovision on iPlayer? There isn't the option to turn them on as instructed on the BBC website. @BBCiPlayer
If you do one lovely thing for yourself this weekend, treat your heart to @glintinhereye’s beautiful, funny and warm debut book - a story so true and direct and moving it will speak to children and adults alike. Huge congratulations @glintinhereye ☀️

Such a gorgeous, uplifting and FUNNY story about love, friendship and shooting a zombie film! Happy Book Birthday to the brilliant @WHusseyAuthor xx
Today is my Book Birthday!!!
So happy that Jesse’s story is out there in the world! This rom-zom-com is my most personal book yet, with our main character undergoing major open-heart surgery (as I did in 2019) and finding love (as I did last year!)

I want to say a few words about what I think is THE most important issue in the current writers' strike: georgerrmartin.com/notablog/…
I'm not saying this is the ONLY reason I went freelance but...
