@MetherellMark @LibrariesACT Thank you Mark!!

@LibrariesACT @ayeshainoon Fantastic news for an author who captures the reality of a new migrant to Canberra.

Thank you @marion_writers for this lovely recognition of Untethered.

Thrilled to be shortlisted for the ACT Literary Awards!! Canberra's beautiful landscapes are the backdrop to Zia’s growth in Untethered, to be shortlisted for the region's prestigious awards is more than I could have dreamed of when I was writing it. Thank you @marion_writers

@annaspargoryan I love your writing and would love a signed copy Anna.

My book A Kind of Magic is being remaindered 💔 An inevitability of being an ok-but-not-great author. If you'd like a copy, please let me know! I will have several hundred of them at rock-bottom prices and can sign and send one to you. (it's this: ultimopress.com.au/products/a-kin…)

In our latest ep Christos Tsiolkas talks about the self-doubt that he wrestles with while writing. It’s a theme we return to on the podcast because no matter the level of success it is always a part of the creative process in some form or another. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/sec…

@karen_farrell1 Thank you for your feedback, I'm delighted that you think so 💖

@ayeshainoon thank you so much for writing Untethered. It is a lovely story but also gives a little more insight into what it is like to immigrate from a different culture and religion.

Loved doing this interview with Sri Lankan radio station Chakra FM! youtu.be/x8hfi-8z6DA?si…
