Just FINISHED my module development for 'Publishing in the 21st Century' for Arts University Bournemouth's online MA in Creative Writing' - and in July it will be delivered, overseen by me! Amazing to create a training course to guide the next generation of publishers/creatives

Looking forward to hearing more about this. Nathaniel knows his stuff. He worked for our previous sales and marketing partner and was a very diligent and personable guy. Always great to see the next generation making headway
Over the past year or so I've had the pleasure of mentoring two independent publishers starting/levelling up their publishing operations! Most recently Nathaniel Spain - keep an eye out for Carnyx Press when it opens later this year for submissions!

Amy shares her candid reflections on the phenomenon of story-blindness—those narrative threads that make perfect sense to the author… but not to the reader.

She’s also included two versions of a pivotal scene, so you can see the transformation.

Have you worked with an editor and realised you’ve been blind to plot issues or character threads that don’t quite present as you thought they did?!

Things I never thought would be part of 'adulting' that I want stickers/badges/cookies for from the universe -

1. VAT return filing
2. EBook coding
3. Projections and accounting

Love this interview in the voice of Naomi from #WeAreNotAnonymous @stephenoram.bsky.social !

'Have you committed a crime? What was it?

Yes, but then haven’t we all...the laws aren’t fair or... we’ve knowingly contributed to the climate catastrophe.'

'We Are Not Anonymous is an accessible sci-fi thriller rooted in concerns about AI, billionaire tech barons, climate change, politics and government, data ownership and police militarization. But it’s also an inspiring story about the power of activism.'

A central question within this novel is: can they successfully subvert Kai’s ambitions and help create a more equal and transparent world? Stephen has successfully written a multiplicity of compelling and recognisable voices, with the character Tam being my personal favourite. (4/7)
