Watching Yvonne Battle-Felton talk to Okechukwu Nzelu tonight was such a special experience. I wanted to ask more about the use of the Book of Ruth - and biblical storytelling in general - versus dissociation from the church, then realised he was actually in a church! 😅

My heart soars when @dialoguebooks authors are in conversation together. It happens a lot and I’m so proud of this community of talented brilliance we have created!!

It's my birthday, and this bloody hellscape is crumbling. It's REALLY frigging hard to sell books and even harder when social media doesn't function in even the most basic of ways. So today all I'm asking is that if you see this, you retweet it. I have a short story collection

Anyone who’s not crying alongside Andi Osho either hasn’t read @salenagodden’s book either or wasn’t listening to BBC Radio 4. They can and should correct both.

Oh, that was a while ago, but I stand by every word. It was such a privilege to get Ashley’s guidance, and anyone who’s considering this shouldn’t think twice.

I could not recommend @Young_E_H more highly when it comes to this task. They are so insightful and generous in their readings.

Now that Twitter no longer exists, can we stop insisting that authors/editors/agents should maintain a Twitter profile? There's no such thing. If you'd like a BlueSky invite, DM me.

A great Irish poet and singer left us today. She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time. Nothing will ever compare to SinĂ©ad O’Connor. Rest easy SinĂ©ad.

Took me a while to come back to Texas, but happy to see @alex_temblador's new book (well, new since I was here last time and bought Secrets) at The Wild Detectives.
