Probably one of the best pieces of writing advice ever. Thank you, Chi Ly! What are you writing this week? #writingcommunity #writingtips #MondayMotivaton

Woo-hoo! Received my copy of Swoop Books new #anthology Ordinary People and what a lovely production it is! Many thanks to all involved. So looking forward to reading fellow #authors short stories.

I agree. A writer is a writer.

Revisiting v.9 on the edits of my first novel I did wonder how authors of the past kept their sanity without the benefits of today’s technologies. Then again… perhaps the editing phase actually broke them in the end? Thank you Jonny Geller for sharing this incredible insight.

I almost missed seeing this in my mailbox! Quite chuffed, especially as I love poetry but I hadn’t considered it one of my strengths. Many thanks to the judges ⁦WinningWriters.com⁩ for giving me the faith to write more.

✨ THE MSLEXIA FICTION COMPETITION 2021 CLOSES 20 SEPTEMBER ✨ Just a few days left to send us your stories, flashes and novel entries! With that in mind - does anyone have any last minute questions about entering? Let us know below 👇 #MslexiaFictionCompetition2021

I’d add that this is a great tip to try for any form of #writing. Re-jigging the perceived order can often add a welcome creatively dynamic twist to a well told #story.

Many thanks Eva Carter aka Kate Harrison/Helm: 3 authors in 1! for excellent pitching advice and guidance at the Jericho Writers Pitch Power webinar this evening. So it’s back to brainstorming new title ideas for Ana Johri …!

This amazing, beautifully written and important book by Angela Findlay should be on the National Curriculum. Had to buy more copies to gift to friends even before I’d finished reading my own copy. Many thanks Alistair Lambert for leading me to it!

Kidnapped at birth by her parents’ murderers, Ana’s inheritance will get her killed. Heathfield’s Seed meets The Goldfinch in this 1990’s Cotswolds #psychologicalthriller. #JWMeetYourMatch Jericho Writers

Huge congrats to Sam Packer for winning the #PitchJericho last night and very well done to fellow short and longlistees. Proud to be amongst you all in the longlist and many thanks too to the brilliant Jericho team & agents for their diligent deliberations of over 1,000 entries!
