Today is the day I officially started work on my first-ever novel (which is separate from my poetry project). I’ve not felt this creatively excited or engaged in years. I hope this is the start of a promising new chapter in my career and life! 😅🤞🏼

Spoke to a bunch of editors about the freelance pitches they’re seeing.
They shared what’s getting ignored, passed over, or rejected and crucially... Why!
Think:
📌 AI-generated ideas
📌 Generic pitches
📌 No narrative tension
📌 Missed guidelines

Hello! I'm spending this summer working on a manuscript for my debut poetry collection (and potentially planning a novel) and would love to connect with writers/poets/creatives at a similar stage!
Also if any agents are reading... hi

I think the best way of flirting with someone you know (of) IRL is to not give any indication that you have a crush on them and never initiate conversation

One of my biggest simple pleasures is enjoying when people (mostly mums) confidently call things by the wrong name.
Eg, mine just told me my dad won’t mind seeing Thunderbolts this evening because he loved “Dr Dre” comics as a kid (translation: Judge Dredd).

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

Bit of news from me. After our next print issue is released, I'll be stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of @filmhounds.co.uk.
More info will come from the team soon, but I'm so proud of what I've achieved and the amazing editors and writers I've worked with over the last two years ❤️
