Can't believe we're in a world where you can be a total jerk and sell out arenas but some of the kindest people I know perpetually fly under the radar despite being ridiculously talented.

The first review for my poetry collection, The Bone That Swallowed A Man: Poems, has landed in the magnificent LeftLion Magazine Nottingham Magazine. The magazine is based in my home city of Nottingham and so it carries extra significance to me. Thank you again to the editor. Read the full review

I wish I had soaring confidence when writing fiction. 🤔

Trying to muddle through and finding freelance work is a challenge. Everything has been affected, putting so much pressure on the industry and the writers. I feel quite despondent and lost in this fight. 😔

I think it's time to extend my writing ability and start writing movie reviews and book reviews. Even game reviews: rapidreviewsuk.com/the-last-of-us…

I could be an all rounder if I put more work in: punknoirmagazine.wordpress.com/2020/06/01/the…

Mark McConville Nice one, Mark. Amazing how prophetic this book was!

I often think of Louise and her soul to remind myself to keep my own soul proud and happy. Happy Friday, all. And thank you to Chelsea Stickle (she/her) and HAD for publishing this one.

Are any publications looking for game reviews: rapidreviewsuk.com/the-last-of-us…

How many pages does a poetry book usually have? I have 31 pages of poetry already written. 🤔

I can't wait for this to be released. The novel is a masterful and raw depiction of unrelenting perseverance. Now, we're getting a graphic novel. The illustrations are sublime too. 🔥🔥🔥 The Road: A Graphic Novel Adaptation amzn.eu/d/3tl5ych

Mark McConville Chapbooks tend to be 20 - 40 pages. A full poetry book often runs over 120 pages

Mark McConville It's easier to find a publisher for chapbooks too as there's less financial risk

I read this back and say to myself maybe I'm okay at doing these longform reviews: Anti-Heroin Chic - Submissions CLOSED. heroinchic.weebly.com/blog/the-dange…

My poetry comes from a dark place. It's also subjective and I don't know the immense techniques, and I certainly have to work at structure. I put down what I feel and think most importantly.

It's still great to see some of my flash fiction and short stories in this collage. I loved writing these razor-sharp pieces for Bristol Noir //www.bristolnoir.co.uk/site/wp-content/uploads/Bristol-Noir-Submissions-1024x496.jpg

Mark McConville Thank you so much, Mark!
