@BrookeHardwick @LauraPAuthor @thenovelry @TashBarsby You are far too kind, @BrookeHardwick! But the courses ARE superb and the editorial team are VERY hands on (and genuinely thrilled to spend our time working with such superstar writers!)
English
What’s the thing you’ve paid for that’s most helped with your writing? A course, a book, a manuscript assessment, coaching sessions? Please be as specific as possible. Name names!

@emily_glenister AGREE. I get so angry at the widely accepted idea that women must lose themselves to motherhood AND think so much more should be done to prevent this (ie affordable childcare, community support, etc.). The subject of many a rant 😂
English
@emily_glenister I agree and yet find this (one of?) the most challenging things. I’d say nothing wrong with wanting it; I just can’t have it that often any more OR at a time of my own choosing (sometimes, maybe) which can be tough 🤷🏼♀️ ALSO I’m reassured this is mainly a baby/small kid thing.
English
I get the sentiment but the “them’s the breaks” vibe of this tweet is off. I want kids (mostly) but I also reserve the right to want to reconnect with my own needs & wants without a kid clinging to me. What’s wrong with that? Answer: nothing.

@katyloftus @thebookseller Thank you. This is brilliant and so, so important. I’m really pleased to hear that things have improved for you 💕

I wrote an article about what caused me to leave my career behind, and some ideas for making things better for those with mental health conditions in the publishing industry. I hope some people will find it useful. @TheBookseller bit.ly/3fkgTWt

@L_Macdougall Ah mine is eight which just about works! (I do occasionally use my kid’s reservation allowance though…)
English
Just emailed my local library service to ask if they can increase the number of reservations allowed (only 5 which is nothing for those of us whose jobs/lives are basically books!). Not hopeful but let's see...

Some job news! Going to miss my amazing authors & team @HarperFiction SO much but excited for a new chapter leading the crime list @HodderFiction - please send me your best crime & thriller submissions (when I get there. Not now I’m on hols 😂) 📚📚📚🙏🙏🙏

@Bethan_Kate I can’t stand the summer hair sweat, though. I feel like there are no great hair seasons for me.
English
I don’t understand British people who are obsessed with autumn. We don’t live in a pumpkin spiced slice of America people, it’s grey and drizzly and my hair looks permanently shit
English
I don't know how to do that thing where you record the screen as you update your Twitter bio so I'll just rely on a good old-fashioned tweet to announce I'm now Deputy Editorial Director @thenovelry 🥳 Feel so lucky every day to work with brilliant writers and colleagues 🫶🏻🍾

And @claremackint0sh’s #Hostage which was bloody ace and kept me up reading even though I KNOW how precious those sleep hours are with a newborn!

I am going on holiday soon - first time since 2019 ⛱🎉 - and would be grateful for reading recommendations. I am v distractible post-baby so the grippier the better! Recent faves include…
