great to reappear on x.com to simply change my header as per my marketing team's request - I do not have an asset to promote my new book but I do have this:

while I'm here, I made the DIVA power list, one of THE most powerful lesbians of 2024 - fuelled like all lesbians by the moon and a desire to see Love Lies Bleeding

Insightful, entertaining and moving panel at Waterstones Piccadilly, London hosted by Laura Kay for Hachette Pride Network: Grace Curtis, Flora Dunster, Theo Gordon, Will Tosh, Briony Cameron, Andy, Samuel Burr & @phoebestuckes . I appreciated the engagement with my question.

last night was so nice and fun thank you Waterstones Piccadilly, London and Hachette Pride Network for asking me to host - I got to speak to lots of brilliant people and ask them questions like ‘have you got any tattoos?’ Huge for the queer literary community - thank you 🙏

If you were thinking of preordering MAKING IT then this #IndieBookshopWeek is a really good time to do it - sweet angels Queer Lit have got 10% off which makes Making It cheaper than a pint ??(almost I’m not a mathematician ok) queerlit.co.uk/products/makin…

My author copies of MAKING IT arrived today! There are 7 million of them and I live in a small flat with a wolf so if you work for a charity/are organising a fundraiser etc. where a copy or two might be useful then lmk!

This book is a masterpiece! It’s a sensitively drawn, powerful portrayal of a queer life with mental illness and finding a way out through creativity. It’s funny, uplifting and romantic, plus no-one does queer friendships like Laura Kay! ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️ #makingit
