Winning a reputable prize can be very helpful. Winning a worthless prize is worthless. People need to be aware of the difference.
I see a lot of authors seeking validation through entering prizes. In the age of self-publishing, is this any longer necessary? A writer's CV is their body of work?

I watched one of the best interviews with Ash Shakur and Blindboy Boatclub that enriched my understanding of England’s oppression of the Irish people. This guy is a treat to watch

This is incredibly disappointing.. I was looking forward to seeing the film too. You’d think Penguin would do their research first before publishing it. #TheSaltPath
Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.
But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

Working with @lyndseycroal.bsky.social and @lunapress.bsky.social on this cover for Dark Crescent was one of my favourite projects this last year, working on a cover for such an incredible collection of stories was an absolute dream, and the reception to the cover has been so amazing!

Why is it so expensive to travel from Scotland to England 😭 There are so many amazing sounding writing conferences and events I’d love to attend but can never justify the £200 it would cost JUST for travel 😭 Can’t just a few more take place in Scotland? 💕 #writers #scotland #writingevents #amwriting

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches.
If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.
