It's alive! 👻🎄 Ghosts at the Old Library is coming back to haunt you this Christmas Levenshulme Old Library. I'll be performing on the 7th & 13th Dec if you want to get spooky with me, but each night there will be wonderful readings from Dr Reshma Ruia david gaffney Fia Harrington & more...

I've written a piece on short story writing as a sustainable practice and the dangers of telling writers they should write a novel. If you have something to say about this, please let me know! DMs open or comment on here.

Had a load of fun watching HERETIC - wonderful performances and Hugh Grant absolutely smashes it 👏 doesn't reinvent the wheel but I do enjoy seeing lovable actors in horrible roles

As always, Scribe Lounge UK have put together a fantastic programme of free events for screenwriters 😍 I've signed up to loads!

Thank you Farhana Shaikh 🍉 Dahlia Books for my copy of this beautiful anthology! It was such a privilege to read and judge this year's Leicester Writes short story competition with Iqbal Hussain #NorthernBoy and Laura Coleman 💜

Tickets for this have mostly sold out but there's still a handful left. If you're planning to attend, now's your chance!

Calling short story writers and poets! Our mini reading window is open! Fly on the Wall Press specialises in political fiction, poetry and cross-genre anthologies on pressing issues, from exceptional international authors. flyonthewallpress.co.uk/manuscript-sub…

We rely on volunteers to make these events a success. You'll be leading a small audience group from one room to the next and generally making sure everyone is okay. We're particularly looking for people to come and help us on Saturday 7th December. levenshulmeoldlibrary.org.uk/2024/11/01/gho…

SO good! 💕

@ellegist Nicholas Barrett We've taken this very seriously. Here's a chart showing the true scale of the North-bat divide.
