All emerging writers schemes should include writers over 40 – writers can emerge at any age, and women writers especially are frequently prevented from taking up writing until later in life (as we well know)!

@DevaneEmily @FlashFicFest Labyrinth, The Company of Wolves, Shakespeare in Love ❤️ (There are a lot of others I could pick, but that's what my brain has thrown up right now)
Wish I could do this workshop, but I'm not able to come to the festival this year!

I'm teaching a workshop on film as inspiration for flash fiction at next month's @FlashFicFest (can't wait!). I'm curious to know, what are three films you come back to again and again?
I'll start...
1. Brief Encounter 2. Dirty Dancing 3. The Wizard of Oz

@MkenWrites Love the artwork ❤️ Happy to send you a testimonial! Would you rather have something about the WBTL courses or mentoring?

Decided that updating my website would be a good "illness activity"; not sure that was wise 😂
**Anyway, I'd love to add some new testimonials if anyone feels in the mood.**
Also, a slightly new look (using my own artwork 🙃) - do we like it? mattkendrick.co.uk

I’m so excited to have an essay in the forthcoming WRITING THE MURDER from @DeadInkBooks, edited by @DanCoxonAuthor and @vivmondo! My piece is about Arthur Conan Doyle, specifically about writing #SherlockHolmes pastiches and navigating the expectations of the modern reader.

A rare day job post: Today marked the culmination of the @AdvanceHE Aurora women's leadership programme I started in March, with an in person session on 'Your Future in HE' - it's been a great experience, and really good to meet other participants in real life! #IAmAurora
