After years in the planning Duets is launching this Thursday! You can get yours at our shop here to arrive on launch day! scratch-books.co.uk/product-page/d…

A big thanks to everyone who has backed our Kickstarter campaign so far! It's truly appreciated – without the support of our readers, we couldn't do what we do. We’ve reached 28% of our goal, which is a fantastic start... kickstarter.com/projects/influ…

Can you name contemporary writers who "do" Yorkshire dialect well (i.e. without sounding like the old duffer out of Wuthering Heights)? Even if it's just a hint of dialect.

(*Trying not to hyperventilate*) Thank you so much Patton Oswalt - 5 months later - missed this at the time... As it happens, film rights remain available 🎞️🌪️

My LondonLitLab short story Bootcamp course is back! Postponed due to illness but now raring to go, this course is somehow both leisurely (lots of writing/breathing/thinking time) and intense (lots of feedback & food for thought). I'd love to have you🫵londonlitlab.co.uk/course/short-s…

A few places left on this brilliant course
