Completely understand why people might have had enough, but we have lost 200+ followers in just a week. So if you have followers you think might appreciate our quiet, bookish, pretty and sociable corner of twitter please do reweet and we will try and follow back as far as we can

It's a fab opportunity, with a stipend and six months of mentoring and industry events, and mentees will become part of one of the nicest literary communities out there. Deadline for applications is 26 August. Again, if you're curious or have questions, please get in touch! (3/3)

As I discuss on the back channels we editors and publishers use to share information – this time, about plagiarism – let me remind anyone thinking of passing off another's work as their own that we DO communicate away from what you see on here, and we WILL out you if necessary.

This. We also inform other editors if you send us inappropriate stuff, be it racist, sexist or homophobic/transphobic. Most of us editors/publishers work for free. We don’t have time for crap like that.
