Feeling more than a little bit emotional and proud of my former @uealdc Creative Writing MA classmate, Michael Amherst. His writing was always beautiful, and I’m so glad and excited to learn that his book will be put next year. ❤️ www.faber.co.uk/journal/fabe...

The writing community on Bluesky is so amazing already but my feed is very full of established authors! I want to make a Starterpack for emerging writers in hopes to see more diverse content! If you’re in the middle of a WIP, unpublished, or even just writing as a hobby, drop a comment! (1/2)

I’m new to this app, so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m a British fiction writer with a first novel out on submission(!). I’m doing a literature and creative writing PhD at the University of East Anglia with a 2024 CHASE scholarship. I’m here for writing and reading communities. Tips welcome!
