Ever thought about becoming a sports journalist? I’m launching a new online course this September: Inside Sports Journalism – Learn From the Best. It gives real, behind-the-scenes access to the people who run the sports desk — top writers, editors, and insiders from across the industry. Waiting list now open 👇 subscribepage.io/H40unx #sportsjournalism #sportsmedia #careers #football #journalismjobs

A review of 'Monster of Harrods' from The Evening Standard standard.co.uk/culture/books/…

For years, the Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed used his power to abuse and rape women, without ever being prosecuted. Why did he never face justice? And who enabled it? pod.fo/e/2e3c8c 🎙️The Story podcast @ManveenRana | @alikervin

The Monster of Harrods is out on Thursday 5th June. This is the explosive exposé of Mohamed Al-Fayed’s controversial 25-year tenure at Harrods. Dozens of victims tell their heart-breaking stories. You can pre-order your copy here: lnk.to/MONSTEROFHARRO… @HarperCollinsUK @HarperNonFic

Fayed raped me before Harrods bosses forced me into abortion, claims victim #Echobox=1748549360-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thesun.co.uk/news/35174725/…

My book about Mohamed Al-Fayed is out next week. I interviewed over 50 women who were abused by him, police insiders, bodyguards who saw what happened, as well as experts in psychopathy and sociopathy. What happened, and how on earth did he get away with it? OUT ON 5th June. amazon.co.uk/Monster-Harrod…

@RorySmith @TheAthletic @tortoise I'm just catching up with these Observer appointments. Well done. This is great news. Look forward to reading you soon.

Seems like only yesterday that I last did this: after quite a brief, but very happy, stay @TheAthletic, I'm really excited to be joining The Observer (powered by @tortoise) as football correspondent. I start in a couple of weeks, when I've thought of a new Instagram handle.

@_PaulHayward Jut seen this. That's great news. Well done. And well done to them. Hope the new-look Observer is a huge success for all.

Proud to say I'll soon be working for The Observer again. One of the world's great papers, first published in 1791. Glad also to be joining top-class colleagues on the sports desk..

I enjoyed contributing to this radio series about rugby’s Bloodgate scandal. Well done @BBCSport bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p…

@mike_weinstein Thanks, Mike x

@alikervin And I heard you on the Bloodgate podcast! Smashing it, Alison. Very proud of you

Yesterday was a rather magnificent day... my book The Monster of Harrods (out 5th June...roll up, roll up get your pre-orders in now) was promoted at London Book Fair. Next, it was off to Downing Street for a meeting with Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves, for International Women's Day. Then, a top-speed zoom through London to arrive at The Wharf in #Teddington just in time to host a panel of rugby experts at a SporTedd dinner to raise money for charity. #londonbookfair #10DowningStreet #internationalwomensday HarperCollins Publishers UK

@katiehind Whaaaaaat? @katiehind that’s awful. Hope he’s OK xx

Today, my Dad left his walking stick outside his home. Not for long. He returned to find someone had taken it. He will now struggle to leave the house until he gets new one. Some people are really, really, really horrible

I'm in the process of judging the British Sports Journalism Awards and am delighted by the number of new, young writers whose entries sit comfortably alongside the big names of sports journalism. It's heart-warming to see. The younger writers may not have covered eight World Cups, nine Olympics Olympics and a million Wimbledons, but so much of their work is bristling with creativity and promise. Obviously, the downside to all this is that it's making judging all the more difficult...

Thanks to everyone who came to the AHEAD OF THE GAME Conference last night. It was a tremendous evening, full of bright, inspiring people with a passion for sport. Enormous congratulations to Sam Peters whose campaign in the Mail on Sunday led to an award-winning book, and now a series of conferences in which some of the most influential people in neurosurgery, neuropathology, physiotherapy, playing and coaching come together to share information and plot a safe way forward for sport.

Let joy be unconfined…let there be dancing in the streets… six Bernice Bloom novels are in the “Hot New Releases” in the comedy charts. A huge thank you to everyone who bought the books. Lots more novels coming soon and, hopefully (fingers crossed) a film! xx The Mary Brown series of novels: amazon.co.uk/dp/B08N9KQKBP?… The Sassy Sixties Squad series: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D9S31XMZ?… #comedy #comedynovels #comedywriter #novels #romcom #romcombooks #writerscommunity #writers
