Yippeee! Can’t wait to perform for this next Wednesday. What an honour to be invited alongside such incredible artists!

You do not want to miss @Seunspeakss at TWOOMPH next Tuesday! Gets yourselves a ticket now!

Meet Arfur - cause he’s ‘alf a tree! 😂 He’s the squiffiest soul, but he is also little enough to fit in our lounge, and we are very thankful to have found him today in our belated bedecking of the house. 🎄

Got my jacket on as the outgoing champion for @OoohBeehive , as we race to crown this year’s Grand Slam Champ! With the likes of @ourweekathy73 , @PoetryOD , and MANY incredible voices I can safely say I’m grateful just to be a judge this time around.

Snowy weekend ☃️ we've been reading the new @FragmentedVoic1 big book! 🤗 I didn't take part in the editorial process for this anthology because I took a short break to finish my dissertation, but it's fab to enjoy the stories inside, well done @thewordtinker and @natalienera 💜

@juliar_writes @FragmentedVoic1 Oh, that sounds GOOD.

😍

@outsideleftcom Oh wow! I had no idea! Thank you so much!

We featured a work by @thewordtinker as one of our 24 poems on National Poetry Day. It was the most read by far. She's really rather brilliant.

A snippet of my moon poem, which I totally forgot was coming out today! Absolutely stunning issue - sink into the soft dark with these writers. Thanks again for publishing my piece - and to @errormessage for their incredibly atmospheric photo!

@AcropolisJourn Cannot wait to dive into this over the weekend. Had a cheeky dip as I was running between tasks today - what stunning words to be in company with! Thank you for publishing my piece.

We are very excited to share ISSUE TWO – an exquisite super moon! Thank you so much to the talented writers and artists for allowing us to showcase their work and for all your wonderful submissions and support.
