Claire Keegan discusses the short story that inspired Small Things Like These, the role of restraint in her writing, and why love is at the core of her novel. thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-lib…

Does anyone consult the writers? Am constantly stunned by how writers are marginalised within their own profession ..........In fact, are there any writers now? Or only 'producers of content for the publishing industry.'

Me too.

Just popped back on here, thinking none of the old lot were still here and you are! Damn, I was trying not to be...

Thanks for saying this The judges words on this are not being talked about much anywhere. 'Her brother was taught she was inferior to him' They dehumanised a girl because she was a girl. It's not racist to address this. #sarasharif

In the interests of balance, any women, children, dogs, elves, carbon-based life forms looking for a last minute present should do this too

Holy shit, I completely forgot that the paperback of Last Murder is out today in the UK! Imagine if Agatha Christie wrote an episode of Lost, or Lost was a murder mystery with an ending that made sense! Please buy it! It’s wild.

You are a dangerous fool.

I absolutely loved this book!

Coming on here to say Meta, Facebook, I've been unable to get an answer to my problem. My FB page has been hacked and is currently sporting a stupid name. Can ANYONE help with this??? And no, I have been unable to change my name back because the AI thinks I did it. I did not.

I will never allow any of my books to be narrated by AI. People love audio books *because* of the wonderful human actors who narrate them. No one wants this.

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

I will never stop posting about this - Absolutely brilliant. Not bad from a small Indy publisher based in the North of England. That's 2 BBC TV series adapted from Bluemoose Books in the last 3 years The Bookseller - Is this a record?
