Announcing an addition to the Emma Curtis book family tomorrow! Cannot wait to share my news with you! ⁦Corvus⁩

The answer to all my sock irritations and rants is just buy men’s socks.

What a gorgeous line up of books! I'm so looking forward to the buzz of Crim Fest ! See you there!

A very happy lunch with these four wonderful women, talking books, sharing congratulations, advice and anecdotes from the strange world of publishing. Great fun as always! ⁦Claire Douglas⁩ ⁦Jane Shemilt⁩ ⁦Jane Corry⁩ ⁦Gilly Macmillan⁩

Gazing wistfully out of the train window dreaming up plots? um…no. Just trying to look like I am when really I’m thinking about food. Off to Bristol for writerly lunch with the lovely ⁦Jane Shemilt⁩ ⁦Jane Corry⁩ ⁦Claire Douglas⁩ ⁦Gilly Macmillan⁩ 🥰

Messaged mother on impulse yesterday asking if there was anything odd about me as a child, any concerns raised.
Reply was, ‘you were certainly different…but whatever you were back then you’re wonderful now.’
So that’s a yes then. 😏
Going to grit my teeth and dig deeper.

Waking up to a great friend’s triumph is such pure joy. @GeorgieBoheim winner of Best Screenplay for #BarnabyandBella at the ⁦LIFF! A happy day for the #PetershamWritersGroup 🥰⁩

Have given up on a book because for about 170 pages the author has used zero punctuation and it's just such a slog.🥱 I was really enjoying it up to that point. Why do that?🙄

Wow, that is gorgeous! I remember this book so well. It’s brilliant and deserves a new outing in its fresh cover. If you missed it the first time… 🩵 #TheGirlBeforeYou

Looking forward to my favourite kind of research trip today, where I talk to someone with the same career and life challenges as my protagonist. Today I'm off to the heart of London's #NappyValley to get inside the mind of an estate agent.

Such a great book - the best kind of holiday read! #TheGuests

I’m not a fan of exotic holidays, so I absolutely 💙💛💙books where they go lethally wrong. #TheCove by ⁦Alice Clark-Platts⁩ is SO good. 💙💛💙Oppressive, claustrophobic and terrifying. Take it on holiday at your peril😱.⁦⁦⁦Raven Crime Reads 𓄿 🇺🇦 💙📚⁩ 💙💛💙

That's fantastic, Essie! Well done xx

Lovely to get together with some original @theprimewriter So cool to hear what everyone is doing: writing fiction, journalism, radio, editing, teaching creative writing, writing history books, teaching yoga, ghost writing. What an enterprising lot we are! Isabel Costello

I cannot wait for this! Well done Essie Fox Author 👏👏👏

Childhood is tough whenever you're born, but if smart phones had been around when I was the unhappy weird kid getting bullied and sneered at at school, it would have been so much worse. I'm not sure I'd have ever got out of that hideous groove & become me.
