Thank you to ⁦The Writing Well⁩ for hosting ⁦Alexandra Corrin-Tachibana⁩ 's workshop on Japanese women's #poetry. A terrific intro to zuihitsu past and present -- Sei Shōnagon, Kimiko Hahn, ⁦Tamiko Dooley⁩, ⁦Hideko Sueoka / 末岡 秀子⁩. Perfect prompts, deep feelings. 🙏

Stunning bit of #bookpost just hit the mat! 'By turns spirited, suffocating, salty, sweary, sexy.' Right up my alley. Thank you ⁦Alexandra Corrin-Tachibana⁩! ⁦Salt Books⁩ #poetry #Japan

Wishing I was free to attend this! There's still time to sign up and treat yourself, writers and Japan-lovers!

"Improv comedy ... taught me to be less rigid, to free myself up, to be spontaneous, and to allow myself to take chances. As a writer, cautious is one of the worst things you can be." David Isaacs, writer/producer of M*A*S*H #IMPROV FOR WRITERS wkshp here: eventbrite.com/e/improv-for-w…

Come and hear me read from my short story 'Siren' in Sheffield, at the Linen Press launch of SKEINS! "On her way out for lunch Alana saw her dead father in the crowded, mirrored elevator. He wasn’t looking at her. He had his eyes closed. He’d always had his eyes closed."

Getting ready for the Sheffield launch of SKEINS, a short story anthology from Linen Press, with Sally Jay Morgan, Susan Clegg, Shelley Roche-Jacques, and Jess Richards. #shortstories #womensfiction

Reading an excerpt from my #shortstory 'Siren', included in the new anthology of women's writing from Linen Press. You can buy SKEINS from their website now! #shortstorycollection #indiepress

Very excited for this! I love reading to readers and reading with writers. Helen Sheppard might you be able to attend?

Missed the northern launch of Skeins, fiction by women? Get to Bristol this evening for the southwest gig! Can't wait to listen to more of the 24 authors included, and to read from 'Siren' again! 7pm at The Robin Hood.

TFW you get to read alongside writers you've only known on Twitter. Another very interesting evening thanks to Linen Press. (Thanks Heather Child for documenting !)

TFW your book feels relevant to someone you greatly admire. #endoflifechoices
