@themaddierune This so resonates with me.

Raising my daughter has confirmed everything. I was never the problem. Mom, you were wrong about me.

Just followed an online lit mag that I hadn't heard of but looked cool. Saw submissions were open, clicked the link, five dollar fee to read/reject people's work. Unfollowed & hard pass. I have twenty two publications in 2026. Writers plenty of places out there want your work

Literature is humanity’s longest conversation with itself about what it means to be alive. It has been going on for thousands of years. You are not late, you are not unqualified, you are not too much or too little or too broken. Pull up a chair. This conversation was always about you.

Attention all essayists! We are looking for CNF & memoir under 2k! We are omnivorous, but our Memoir Editor @krysmalcolmbelc would love to see micro memoir, interesting forms, joyful essays, graphic & image/text work. And don’t count out your lovely quiet essay!

I'm delighted to be able to share the cover of my flapping novel UNDERDOGS, which is to be published by @johnmurrays on 2 July! Designed by talented young artist Ellis Crossley @LJMU, it beautifully represents my story of a father, a son & a greyhound called Goldie... #amwriting

@MichaelRosenYes I watched it. It's so moving & sad. I had the honour of meeting Benjamin when he visited our pupil exclusion unit, & saw him perform many times. He worked tirelessly 4 troubled teens, & is missed by many people, but his influence & his writing will always live on.

Please only watch this if you can bear to see how Benjamin was in his last days trying to cope with a brain tumour. I wanted to watch it because his death is part of him, as it will be with all of us. I admired him hugely and still do.
