Just had some fantastic news today my local councillors in Bestwood Village have given us some money to tell the stories of working class people living in an ex mining village. DH Lawrence wrote about this village. Join our collective & collect & tell working class stories.

@myddelton News of a Kidnapping, non-fic by Gabriel García Márquez on the kidnappings of prominent Colombians by the Medellín drug cartel in the 1990s. A brilliant read!

I'm here for your nonfiction recommendations for books that you found interesting or compelling! Only stipulation is not directly about work (design/product/music/tech) but other than that I'm open to suggestions :)

Just finished a brilliant book on the hidden maths of everyday life. Beautifully written and not at all rational-dogmatic but exceptionally human. (Don't be put off by the terrible title, it's not remotely about how not to be wrong!) amazon.co.uk/How-Not-Be-Wro…

@juskasim is brilliant as per! This episode feels like you’re squirrelled away with him and Sureka in the corner of a party getting all the good gossip! 👏 👏 👏 #amwriting #amreading
make it make sense@mimspod

Loving the latest episode of @mimspod :-) Bloody inspiring to hear from @amymaereads about how she founded @badformreview. I'm genuinely blown away by women like her who don't wait for permission and just Get.Shit.Done💚 Thanks as ever to Sureka for being such a gorgeous host 💚
make it make sense@mimspod

🚨EP 06 🚨with ⁦the remarkable @amymaereads⁩. We spoke about a great many things that I can’t summarize in one tweet. Lucky you get to listen to the entire episode! My favourite take-away…the importance of consistency when trying to make a change. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/mak…

*LOVE* that when @Nelle_Andrew is asked what makes a good agent, she leads with ‘a deep sense of empathy’ 💜 Another great episode from @SurekaT_D! I planned a long evening walk to listen and was not disappointed! #amwriting
make it make sense@mimspod

🚨EP 05🚨with ⁦@Nelle_Andrew⁩. This one’s for the agents, for those hoping to enter the industry and needing an honest view in as well as for writers that want to know what it means for an agent, like Nelle, to stand in your corner. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/mak…

WOW! Thank you @JessGeorge_ for such fantastic insights into the industry. I’m so happy you made it with #MAAME! This is such a great listen! Hats off too to @SurekaT_D for creating such a beautiful audio space for us all to meet in💜 #amwriting #amreading
make it make sense@mimspod

🚨EP 04🚨 with @JessGeorge_ is up! We speak about her tender and compelling debut, how she made space for a version of grief that she was unfamiliar with and just how many times she made me cry (and laugh) while reading #MAAME. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/mak…

Another belter of an episode from @SurekaT_D! Genuinely inspiring to hear @juskasim’s tales of rejection - it takes so much grit and resilience to keep bouncing back in the way he did. He is beautifully candid, funny and insightful. 💯 #amwriting
make it make sense@mimspod

🚨EPISODE 02🚨w/ author of GOOD INTENTIONS @juskasim. We chat about his dedication & resilience in the face of multiple rejections of multiple manuscripts before his debut novel hit, his masterful dialogue and the beautiful dedication to his grandparents. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/mak…

@mimspod @Nelle_Andrew But perfectionism feels like the barrier to progress. I’m finding the idea of letting those first three chapters loose into the world really scary! What does Nelle look for in those first few pages? Thank you! 🙏

@mimspod @Nelle_Andrew It’s so hard to know when your MS is ‘ready’ for agents! Can Nelle offer any advice on this please? I know that whatever I send to an agent isn’t going to be the finished version, because that’s what agents and editors are for …

Lizzie is a breath of fresh air - she’s generous in sharing her experience, humble about her achievement and shares credit with many people behind the scenes including her agent @Nelle_Andrew. 3/4

For example, tomorrow I get to chat to @DamilolaLizzie and we discuss how she landed her agent @Nelle_Andrew, her book deal(s) and what comes after all that. If you have any specific questions, leave them here and we’ll try figure it out together? ✨
