Yup, totally agree, GOOD rejections can be so encouraging!!!! All the best luck 😀💪

Really looking forward to this one!

Just discovered @orangesjournal 😍 Love lots of stuff I've read in there but really enjoyed this non-fic piece orangesjournal.com/mental-health/… Writers out there - do you have a meditation practice? Has it helped you creatively? I've only had mine for 1+ year but it has changed me!

Really like this interview, mainly because when you start sending work out you don't know that it takes LONG to get an answer (and most of them are rejections). Hey, editing and publishing takes time...

Yup, so true...

Ten Poems from the Coast edited by Dr Miriam Darlington🦉 explores the variety of coastal landscapes – everything from limestone cliffs to muddy estuaries and sand dunes to saltmarshes. Everywhere there’s a sense that we go to the land’s edge to step away from the hustle of our daily lives.

I'm really excited to share a #CallForSubmissions for a special issue of Femspec Journal focused on Black Mirror. I'll be the issue's guest editor, and we'll welcome both critical essays and short pieces of creative writing. You can see the full call here👇

Just me chatting about my favourite thing, rejections 😂 it stopped from sending work out for SO long. I think rejection was always a sort of major fear since I was little (I guess it may come with the artistic brain...?) Working on it tho 💪

True that, so many people around me are like... but are you not holidays?? and I'm like... teaching prep 🙃 that's my holiday 😂

Students at Plymouth Uni have just launched this absolutely gorgeous journal panoplyjournal.co.uk and they are also accepting subs!! Go and check them out 😀🌈🥰 English - University of Plymouth

There's definitely space in literature for 'hard stuff' and Dr. Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai talks beautifully about why stories like hers are important.

This was me all last week... I need exercise... but for the mind? (I'm possibly talking about meditation here, which I've been trying to for a while now but it's HARD 😂)

Great opportunity for poets out there!

I love when writers take me to some of their favourite places... this episode is also nostalgic in the best ways possible!

That's absolutely beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing, now I can picture it perfectly 😍

I'm in one of my favourite podcasts about creativity! 🥰

On Spanish radio talking about my new novel - a queer retelling of the story of St Ciaran - published by Blackwater Press 😊

A podcast I did a while ago which was so fun - also about The Three Lives of St Ciaran - talking queer multilingual literature!
