I've been chuckling this morning at @evilevehall.bsky.social's A NOVEL MURDER & publishing isn't ready!

Described as an 'eviscerating portrait of modern publishing ... Rarely will the industry feel so seen. A wicked, wicked book’ by @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social 😈🗡️📖

A Starling murmuration, thousands of birds moving as one.

A moment of wonder, a feeling of connection.

What does it make you feel?

So delighted to be in a relationship where date night is pizza and stopping off for ice cream on the way home 🩷

Trying to build up my Blue Sky feed into what my Twitter feed used to be... Does anyone have recommendations of some great accounts they follow? Doesn't even need to be book related but humour/good news/people being nerdily passionate about things all appreciated!

Happy to announce that my adult fantasy novels are now repped by @palindrometodd.bsky.social!After all I’ve been through in this industry, it’s lovely to have an agent whose vision & faith make me excited to dive back in & fight for my gaysian characters 🏳️‍🌈🥳 Can’t wait to see what we do together!

Which UK fiction editors love an RPG? TTRPG or otherwise? Wave at me if you love things like Zelda, Final Fantasy, D&D or even some cosy farming sims. I feel like there's a load of us out there, but I need the fellow nerds to reveal themselves 🤓⚔️

Gah, I loved this so much! The perfect balance of creepy, heartwarming and magical

Feel better soon C! Xx

That's the thing, totally baffled as to what the goal was! I do hope the editors who are on the list get to use it for their benefit, but baffling from the bookseller!

Also just wild in an industry with such high levels of burn out ... Let's not add to the immense pressure everyone is already under, or deepen those divides between editorial and 'everyone else'
December 17, 2024 at 9:26 AM
God, isn't this exhausting? We're all so tired! Not only is the criteria SO odd (prizes skew towards literary fiction) but this doesn't reflect many books bringing in so much money to the industry. But an editor is so much more than this... As is the whole teams behind these successes.

Entirely baffled that anyone could ever think this was a good idea.

I love this book sooooo much. It's such a fantastic audiobook, and argh. The joy and cosiness and romance 💖
November 29, 2024 at 8:20 PM
This is such a great point! All my authors, please print this and put it wherever you write 🩷

Take the pressure off yourselves for everything to be perfect. It's what keeps structural editors, copyeditors and proofreaders in jobs!
The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

This makes sense as to why you've achieved so much! You have more hours in your day!! But I'm sorry to hear you've always struggled with sleep... I don't know how you're still coherent. I'm finding it rough! These are so useful, thank you. Taking myself to Boots tomorrow!! X
November 28, 2024 at 5:43 PM
Oh that's such a great idea. I have a weighted blanket and tend to use it when I'm cocooning on the sofa, but to sleep is a great idea. Will also give the magnesium a go!! Thanks C, you're a star X
November 28, 2024 at 5:41 PM
Ah interesting! I have, and in the past the Headspace app was great for winding down for sleep, but it's not doing it at the moment 😬
November 28, 2024 at 8:42 AM
I didn't know those existed!! Okay this is a great solution if it persists, thank you! So pleased yours is getting better for you & it's working
November 28, 2024 at 8:41 AM
Ooooh okay great! I'll go to boots. I felt a ridiculous need to be able to point to something and say 'see? I am sleeping badly!' but you're right... I can tell that myself!
