Ummm...What were the good parts of slavery, MAGA?

Receiving a rejection email from a publisher while trying on jeans has to be the most depressing ten minutes ever.

'It takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the truth...' Oh, MAGA really doesn't do irony, do they?

This is a beautiful use of language… Chapeau 🎩 Monsieur 🇫🇷

@LouiseMBuckley Absolutely! Most agencies warn they are not there to provide editorial feedback but I would really be grateful that an agent took the time. I suppose there could be a warning that there's no guarantee of representation and it's up to the author if they want to use the advice.

Is this something authors would be open to? Or would you worry you'd rewrite and still not be taken on?

Aspiring authors, I'd welcome your opinions. I have two full MS I've requested, where I love the concept and the writing but both have fundamental issues and require (imo) substantial rewriting structurally. My inclination is to tell the authors what I feel needs doing to

Happy Halloween!

Waiting for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning feels like waiting for the last Harry Potter book to come out and thinking 'Oh, please, Voldemort can't win, can he?'

Readers, tell me which fiction books you've read recently that are completely unputdownable *gets out pen and notebook 📝*

The greatest New Yorker cartoon of all time.

Sometimes when I go to events my wife comes with me. If the @MailOnline get hold of pictures they put it on their website and hundreds of comments tear my wife to pieces. She’s never thrust herself forward or courted attention in any way. I don’t know if the comments are real or written by the mail. Or by bots. But I do know it’s cyber bullying. And mysoginist. And I think it may be in some way the business model of the @MailOnline . Monetising unkindness.

@cbcreative @silvanhistorian Why isn't she grateful? I broke the curse. Without me, she'd still be in the forest in a glass coffin with all those dwarves gaping at her. Another morning, staring out the window, stroking an apple, whispering that she has nothing to do, nothing to look forward to.

#WriteCBC task from @silvanhistorian: Choose a fairy tale/folk tale and a contemporary issue (e.g. Red Riding Hood & Deforestation or Rumpelstiltskin & the Gender Pay Gap). Now write a mini-scene which transplants this 'modern' issue into a fantasy or historical setting.

@GBGreatAgain You know what this means, Bart? The dead have risen. And they’re voting Republican.

Well I'm glad to see you're on the mend. #ReformUK @TonyTonyTx

@cbcreative @samuelburr Liv adjusted the mirror and dug through her bag. MAC Fix, Conceal and Correct Palette. The lady behind the counter told her it was popular with drag queens, so it should work here. Slathered on like frosting. Dark lipstick to distract. What could she get away with in the daytime?

#WriteCBC task from @samuelburr: Clues come in all shapes and sizes. Tease your readers by planting a clue to a secret your character is keeping. Write a Tweet-length mini scene which shows that perhaps there’s more to this character than meets the eye.

In true Hodges Figgis fashion, our window dresser has put together a wonderful display to mark the release of Kevin Barry’s “The Heart in Winter”, available from today onwards!

"Oxford crew reveal sickness problems after Cambridge double up" What a country....the River Thames is so sick and polluted that the Boat Race crews won't even "risk being thrown in the water to celebrate". Congratulations Cambridge..yes I'm biased 😂 theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar…
