Absolutely! This support is going to make a HUGE difference to everyone in Megaphone Write. THANK YOU ALCS.

It's back! Today we announce the return of our summer workshops for authors of colour, together with Spread the Word, Megaphone Write & Renegade Books– a new adult commercial imprint at @dialoguebooks. This year, speakers include Joanne Harris, @CharlotteVass17 & Tanya Byrne Updates (She/Her) 1/5 🧵

I'm not saying this is the ONLY reason I went freelance but...

I want to say a few words about what I think is THE most important issue in the current writers' strike: georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2023/…

Such a gorgeous, uplifting and FUNNY story about love, friendship and shooting a zombie film! Happy Book Birthday to the brilliant William Hussey xx

One time I was texting my agent (long may she thrive), worrying about whether my work was good enough to be picked up by any editor on our sub list, & she said something I want y’all to internalize: “We’re not going to compare ourselves to professionally edited, pubbed authors.”

This is how to kick off #PrideMonth2023!

Happiest of Book Birthdays to award-winning Sarah Hagger-Holt! Just Like Everybody Else is a compelling, moving and uplifting story about self-acceptance, coming out, family and surrogacy. It'll make you cry, but it'll also make you feel hopeful. I love this book.

So she’s written this, had it edited, sub’d, proofread, typeset & art ed’d. And been paid, as have they. Then at weekend will likely read, see a play, watch something filmed by a crew of people like my son, or use work of copywriters/designers etc to visit/hol somewhere. Twat.

I'm so excited that Stephanie King 🌈❄ IS NO LONGER HERE. & I will be running another mentoring scheme! We'll be launching formally any day now but wanted to get the news out about our generous funding from ACE Midlands National Lottery grants & ALCS & THANK YOU to all our individual supporters!

Happiest of book birthdays to @PJCanningauthor and the nail-biting third book in the 21% Monster series, SERPENT STRIKE. Action-packed, inventive and with characters you really care about, it's addictive reading. Congratulations!

ICYMI: Congratulations to Nazima Pathan, a wonderfully intuitive, inventive writer who I have loved talking books and writing with Megaphone Write. Middle grade readers are in for an exciting treat! #DreamHunters
