Been thinking a lot recently about this. I agree. I also wish companies understood that paying writers on time would lead to BETTER work from us. More relaxed, more valued, less stressed, less scrabbling around having to take on other work because we don't know when the money's coming through.
pay your freelancers on time (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I've had a sneak peek at this and it's so fucking good. It comes from such a visceral place of truth and rawness but it's also really fucking funny and brilliantly written and illustrated. I love it.
Okay gang. My debut comic launches on Saturday. Some friends have started posting about it so I figured I’d turn the website on for pre-orders. Thanks for even considering buying it. I’m very proud of it.

Can't recommend Ned's courses enough. If you're at all interested in working with young people and co-creating - you should defo go for it. Even though I'm not in that world at the moment, I found the course re-invigorated stuff for me in the plain old world of writing theatre and TV. Check it out X
I'm excited to announce three new courses - booking now!
Co-Creation with Young People and Communities, in September and November.
Co-Creation: Stage 2, for anyone who's done my first course and wants to go deeper, in July.
Book now - they're already selling fast.

Lovely to hear. I wanna know which one! ;)
Attended an excellent pitch doc workshop with @annaruthjordan.bsky.social this week. One unexpected side-effect (unrelated to pitching) is that one of the exercises Anna had us do has led to a key breakthrough in the writing of a current project. Nice!
