Delighted and honoured to be the Dr Gavin Wallace Fellow for 2024! Excited for the year ahead and looking forward to working with University of Stirling as I write & research my 4th novel set in Grangemouth. Thank you to all 🙏

I have written three novels, one of which was longlisted for the women's prize, the rsl ondaatje prize and a british book award. I can't quit my day job. I can't even go part time right now. being a novelist without wealth to support you sucks sometimes

Bloody brilliant!!!! Congratulations Matilda!!!!

I’d like to submit something for the Bath Flash Fiction but I’m a 450 word flash writer and sometimes we just have to accept ourselves for who we are.

Was such a pleasure to be there to watch these two brilliant women accept their awards and listen to their exceptional words. This morning I woke early and wrote. That’s how it works.

I have signed a letter in disgust over the draconian sentences for climate protestors. What is the bigger crime: destroying our planet for profit, or asking the world to wake up and act? We cannot let this miscarriage of justice stand. Sign here: defendourjuries.org/wtf/
