On 9th July I'm speaking at the Creative Network with @CreativeLivesCL about my belief that writing should be more about freedom, self-expression, playful exploration and joy, than about outcomes. It's free for anyone to join if you'd like to participate. creative-lives.org/Event/creative….

I've been writing about grief for 8 years since my partner, Blacksmith Paul, died and have facilitated grief writing workshops ever since. This week, I'm bringing that work to @BBCSheffield with Paulette. We start the process today at 12pm. Find out more: beverleywrites.com/blog/writing-a…

This woman ♥ She's at the point we're all at. I don't know what it's called. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. My heart is so 💔 it will never mend.

Whether you're an experienced writer or an aspiring one, you'll want to check out this AMAZING event in Sheffield tomorrow! There's SO much going on, including mini masterclasses with myself and @thevoiceofruss

The cakes look good. You should come just for those.

If you can't make a full day of writing tomorrow but you're feeling left out, we'll be having drinks, an open mic and Q & A, plus welcoming our guest, author Joanne Burn, for the early evening shindig. You're very welcome to join us for free from 5.15pm! thewritersworkshop.co.uk/writers-day-20…

Another not-to-missed opportunity from the Write More in '24 Writers' Day on 17th Feb!

“When you are in a court battle with a perpetrator, the trauma hasn’t necessarily been processed. You are still in it. It is afterwards when that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops. Victims are left more in the dark than anyone else.” Having to pay £1000s for transcripts compounds the injustice that keeps victims in the dark and prevents them healing. There should at the very least be a right to the judge’s summing up to the jury and their sentencing remarks.

I'll be running a session on writing issue-based fiction for children and young people and I'll also be hosting pitching sessions with @rachelpmann and @HachetteUK. Pitching slots are selling fast so book your ticket soon. thewritersworkshop.co.uk/writers-day-20…

I don't think there's been a writers' day on this scale in all my 25 years of working with writing in Sheffield. Do come along and spread the word. It's going to be epic. @otsfestival @YBattleFelton @iainbroome
