In today's Substack post I'm answering all the big questions... How to know when to quit your job, and finding success as an author. bit.ly/3N7jAc2 Any shares or restacks gratefully received.

That tweet I put out for agent friends a good few months back resulted in a connection with @tanera_simons, which snowballed into an unbeatable trifecta with @rebecca_hilsdon. This is why you take a chance and reach out ❤️❤️

I wrote something about status - what losing it has meant to me, and why. It's on Substack for free. bit.ly/40MdR14

I wrote a piece about what I found in the year after leaving corporate publishing. Spoiler: good stuff happened.

Powerful (and very accurate) piece from @katyloftus for @thebookseller today called 'Should you quit?' thebookseller.com/comment/should… It discusses the psychological dangers of corporate publishing - including bullying & abusive behaviour and working very long hours.

@katyloftus hi. Can you let me know best contact details for you? Many thanks. Dx

Hi book folk! I have written a short story. It isn’t my story, but it is about issues I've seen in all industries, inc publishing. It’s on Substack, no subscription needed, so anyone can read it. I hope you find something in it to make you think & talk. open.substack.com/pub/fromthemar…

Things women in literature have died from.
Going outside at night in Italy and general bummers are my personal favorites.

I'm hearing great things about this fast-growing indie children's publisher in Leicester, and they have tons of amazing jobs going! sweetcherrypublishing.com/contact/career…

Sometimes instinct means listening to your gut. Sometimes it means recognising when someone else's gut is right.

Thank you, Lauren, for these words. One major difference now I work freelance is I get paid to read manuscripts. Whereas in-house assistants on the lowest pay are expected to read, sometimes every day, for free. Publishers should at least pay overtime, not incentivise over-work.

The thing that burns me up about the @hcpunion strike is that HC management is acting as if publishing is a standard business, when it’s a weird chimera, largely predicated on respect and goodwill—which @HarperCollins is irreparably damaging every day they refuse to bargain.

simply unforgivable that elon is forcing me to either get hot (instagram), get annoying (substack), learn what a server is (mastodon), or become an actual psychopath (linkedin)

What I’ve learned this week: editors, like authors - like everyone - need real life in order to create. Whether that’s being on mountain top, or bustle of street. Working all the time shuts life out, and so can be the antithesis of creation. Let’s give real life space.

@duniamartix hi Marta! You got in touch about a project. Please can you follow me so I can DM you?
