@barryglendenning.bsky.social Hey Barry. Heard on the last pod that you admire Peter Drury. Well hopefully you’ll enjoy this film he narrated for Berkhamsted FC - his local team, where I’m a director. We’re a small club with a big heart, playing step 3 of non league

Six years ago today this came out. My debut novel, Our Life in a Day. It got some lovely reviews, had a wonderful launch and the readers I met enjoyed it. I remain hugely proud of it.

I absolutely love this piece from @thefence.bsky.social. Partly because I remember the band and recognise every musical reference in it. Partly because the amount of conversations I’ve had about reforming my old band has surged after turning 40. A funny, true piece of writing.
'In my fortieth year I was going to be in a band. And I was going to be unfuckable.'

Everyone at The Fence has painful experience of the freelance pitching grind, so we've always sought to make our pitching process as open and encouraging as possible. We also pay everyone promptly. If you feel like you might be our next First Byline, hit the mail below. We don't bite.
We read all the cold pitches we receive, and we've had at least one writer get their very first print byline in the last five issues.
Send us your best ideas to editorial@the-fence.com - we look forward to hearing from you

When I was in my twenties I would email newspaper editors in the hope they might give me a break. I was a total nobody (some would argue I still am). The only person who emailed back was the editor of The Observer Roger Alton. He always got back and it led to me being published in the paper.

We are doing a speed re-run of 2009 to 2012 Twitter right now, and it’s clear news organisations have forgotten rule one of that era:
Assume any account of a notable person is fake until you have very, very good confirmation otherwise.

I am now working on the assumption that Hugh Corcoran is a huge Adrian Mole fan, and Yellow Bittern is a deep cut reference to when Adrian became an offal chef in The Cappucino Years.
Of all the restaurants which are run by a communist and an aristo, only open for weekday lunches, only take cash and only take bookings by phone, the Yellow Bittern in London’s King’s Cross has to be the best. My restaurant review from today’s Observer.
