Helen Newdick

Here's the pitch for my recently completed debut novel, 'This Is the Way to the Skies', actively looking for a down to earth home in the trad publishing world!

Graham Dunlop is a man ready to look up from the world and to see the stars. His wife and daughter Cal are tilting for the stars too, but with the help of their celebrity neighbour prepared to be a whole lot more thrusting about it.

@RoseMarshSteven @JerichoWriters Ah thanks Rose - such a lovely boost!

@HelenNewdick @JerichoWriters I cannot wait to read this book Helen!

@BBCRadio4 #r4bh Sycamore destruction. It is the loss of the shape of the tree against the skyline we mourn the most, so why not recreate this with an identical shape sculpture, comprising wood from the tree? Reinforce & shape the wood with iron binding as in old cartwheels?

@kovesi1 I read it many years ago, and the ending has particularly stayed with me. Never second guess the ingredients to happiness.

@kovesi1 @BrookesEnglish @oxfordbrookes He was a brilliant and generous teacher - I loved his lectures, loved listening him talk about the amazing act of writing fiction and savoured so much of what he knew to give weight to in writing. Unforgettable person.

@Liambroady Such a shame for you Liam, you were brilliant yesterday, on a roll. I hope you're okay.

Oh Shirley Hughes. May she always have a pile of leaves to jump in. Go well. RIP.

Really thrilled for Liam Broady on claiming his first singles title at the Biel Challenger. Dam burst moment!

@Liambroady You played out of your skin Liam ... absolutely stunning performance ... so impressed. 👏👏👏

The WTF look on my face here is cracking me up 😂😂

Just heard @spectator are planning to run a story on me tomorrow about how I have benefitted commercially in the last 18 months…To clarify, I don’t need to partner with brands. I partner because I want to progress the work I do off the pitch and…(1)

@MarcusRashford @spectator The Spectator is a disgrace to the name of journalism. If they're criticising you, the chances are that you're doing the right thing. Not that there's any doubt about it: you are, and I admire you for it.

@Liambroady Brilliant match Liam! You played so well and confidently that it was just great fun to watch. Bravo! 👏👏👏

That one felt good @ Wimbledon instagram.com/p/CQrY_PzglL0/…

@Liambroady @Wimbledon Really good luck for Wimbledon.

Good experience this week against some top players. Last few days of prep before @wimbledon let’s go @ Eastbourne, East Sussex instagram.com/p/CQecgHUAHmK/…
