One reason I decided to be brave & publish my poetry collection is that it can be SO hard to explain what #LongCovid is to people who don't know – or even make them aware of it at all. I wrote a piece about it for #stylist magazine. stylist.co.uk/health/mental-…

@cjsarett Oh, and here's the cover! amzn.eu/d/dOCK7xA

I’m writing an essay about recent poetry collections dealing with physical (not mental) illness. If you know of one I should consider, please link below or DM.

@cjsarett Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions: short poems from Long Covid. I hope you enjoy it. amzn.eu/d/2NbABiT

@MillieGuille @thebookseller @EuropaEdUK Great news. Many congratulations

@Lizterary Thank you so much 😊

Anna is a brilliant editor & writer. Cannot recommend highly enough.

@gillybethstern @thebookseller Congratulations. Finally!

This is beyond timely and wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you @thebookseller I’ve been campaigning for this for years! Don’t even need to be nominated! #FreelanceRecognition #Thankyou

@BCopperthwait @mermhart Yes, and likewise. In my case it led me to poetry (discovering I could write in my head, working with fragments of text & distilling thoughts over a long time frame) – so I am sort of grateful for that. I'll be interested to listen to the podcast.

@AnnaMcDavidson @mermhart I touch on this in a podcast out tomorrow. How it changed me and my writing. I had to take several years out, which of course impacted on my writing career. The absolute fatigue is so hard to understand unless you’ve experienced it yourself. I’m so sorry you have.

Big news - book out in a week. I share lots of stories of my last decade, mainly what I have learnt living with chronic illness, but there’s lots of fun and some of my own big news to share too. Big news all around. Said big news too much. Big news. amzn.to/3VPTuxN

My book (Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions) is unlikely to topple B**** Johnson off the #1 spot – but @mermhart 's might, so buy it! (And if you're looking for an uplifting read about chronic fatigue / solidarity & comfort for post-viral illness, buy mine too 😉😀)

@BCopperthwait @mermhart I couldn't agree more.

@mermhart Thanks for writing about chronic illness. It floored me seven years ago. Took me years to recover. I’m still managing it, but well now, but it’s changed me as a person. It’s not talked about enough.

@BookBrunch @Nick_Duerden @johnmurrays I was nearly the 11th seat at Sevenoaks! Reading this article I'm even more sorry now that I couldn't make it. Congratulations on your book – look forward to reading that too.

If you are curious about how self-publishing works, come along (online)!

Exploring the world of self-publishing this year after almost 3 decades working in trad publishing trade editorial has been fascinating. Really enjoyed talking to @Howard_Lovy for @IndieAuthorALLI about the points of difference, and how writing compares to editing. #LongCovid

On the Inspirational Indie Authors Podcast, @howard_lovy features @AnnaMcDavidson, an editor who turned her experience with Long COVID into a moving poetry collection. #indieauthor #selfpublishing selfpublishingadvice.org/podcast-inspir…

@lucypgeridoc @bedsidepodcast Wonderful - look forward to listening!

I’ve just had the happiest time talking with Tara for @bedsidepodcast - art and science, the rewards of looking after people with long lives, #WhatMattersMost and #DoLessButBetter - value based care . And laughter and getting it wrong and all that stuff 🥳👏👏❤️❤️

I'm blown away by the idea that poetry can influence for the better how healthcare professionals and patients interact. I so appreciated being interviewed by inspirational and outside-the-box thinker Dr Tara George for her podcast for HCPs.
