I don’t suppose anybody would like to buy a book tonight. I’m stressing about big bills week, it’s not getting any easier and lately I’ve been wondering how long we can keep doing this. I know I’m not alone in this, lots of small businesses are facing difficult times.

Earlier this year I spent a very enjoyable morning having brunch at Bettys with the guys from failingwriterspodcast and the episode is out today. Link to listen is in the next post #WritingCommunity

Excited to announce that FlashFlood will open its doors on Sunday 20 April until Saturday 26 April. Flashes up to 300 words. Previously published accepted. Get writing, folks! More details here: nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/index.php/flas…

We’re not just saying this because Rosie Wilby is a friend of the show… but reckon this will be a throughly entertaining night👇

failingwriterspodcast podcast is back! Genuinely my favourite writing podcast, and not just because they gave me £500 for my story in December. Seriously, if you're a writer, failing or otherwise, it's a nice mix of gentle procrastination and a boost to get writing! Also quite funny.

This week we shoot the breeze with the brilliant C. J. Tudor and find out being a massively successful author isn’t always the anxiety-free life we might assume. Link in the bio. #horror #thrillerbook #writers

Songs about books? Yes please! Check out Paul Armfield ’s latest album - Between the Covers - and marvel not just at the bloody great title, but the luscious music too! He’s on tour this month and next. We had a lovely chat on the pod. Have a little shuftie - Link’s in our bio

👀 Join PodGod #AdamBuxton, talking about writing memoirs - The joys and dangers of looking back, representing the truth & how you deal with terrible, inaccurate, exploitative AI versions of your biography appearing online. (Not really that well) Enjoy! Link in the bio.

Listening to the failingwriterspodcast podcast epsiode with Adam Buxton. I am HUGE fan, so imagine my response when he SAID MY NAME (he’d listened to my episode of the pod). Basically what I’m saying is that I have been mentioned on an Adam Buxton podcast (sort of 🤣) #booktwitter

It took Adam Buxton 5 years to write his first memoir book, and another 5 to write “I love You Byeee”. THIS possibly explains why… 😁 Join us for our delightful and insightful chat about writing - Link’s in the bio. #AdamBuxton #memoirwriting #writingcommunity

A big ole thanks to Scrivener for sponsoring the podcast this season! (Only down side: we had to promise to use every penny on promotion & advertising and not on beer & cheese Doritos 🤨.) 🫶🙏 Listen to this week’s ep for 20% off code!

This week we join the mighty Mur Lafferty, from ‘I Should be Writing’, to help us face our demons. You know, those noisy, pesky, doubt-engineers that want dominion over our creative endeavours. It’s truth sharing time. And sometimes the truth hurts! Link’s in the bio. Mur Lafferty

This episode, one of our more evil questions threw up some very amusing answers: “What’s your most embarrassing writing success daydream?” But what’s YOUR answer to it? 😁 Be honest! Mur Lafferty
