Waiting to hear from an early reader about your manuscript is like sending your child to school for the first time. You're trying to get on with your life but you spend the whole day wondering if you should have given the teacher more context.

@kassabyumna @ultimopress @thebooksdesk Congratulations!

This is the story of two authors who chase local cafes to stay open on a Friday afternoon so we can talk, and talk, and talk. So lovely to spend time with @cbalintauthor this afternoon. The two of us are just happy to raise our coffee cups to each other!

@BlarneyBooks @AndreaRowe_au Hopefully in person sooner rather than later! X

@ozalba @AndreaRowe_au Good to know!

@AndreaRowe_au @cbalintauthor Come to Bris. Black Milk is open 5-5, M-F, serving their own roasts ☕️👍

@AndreaRowe_au It was delightful! Xx

@LisaMMcGee Congratulations!

@MKeenerWrites 🤣🤣🤣

My 20 yr old daughter went on a lunch date today. She accidentally hit the SOS button on her phone which sent us an emergency alert with no explanation. My husband was at that restaurant in 7 minutes. This poor guy wasn’t expecting to meet her dad that way. 🤣 #momlife

@HarperCollinsAU @TaffeMarion Congratulations! Can't wait to read this.

We're so proud to announce that we have acquired ANZ rights to FREIDA by @TaffeMarion- a sweeping, enthralling & compelling novel, which speaks to the world of medieval manuscripts, the gatekeeping of story, & the creative power of a woman’s anger. harpercollins.com.au/press-room/har…

@jenniferdown They know it's fiction not a Melways, right?

@BlarneyBooks Not sure I can extricate myself from my life to get there but I hope you can! X

@BlarneyBooks Amazing!

@BlarneyBooks Unfollowed. Thank you.
