Haven't been able to stop thinking about the bravery of this man. Just another morning, off you go to your nice, normal rail job, and by the end of the day you've put your life on the line to save other people's.

Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:
Wax Heads by Pattatue Games, coming 2026. I'm a writer on this game! The image shows a character, Tee, wearing a pink longsleeve and holding a vinyl she just pulled from its purple slipcase, about to putvit onto a record player. Tee has aqua hair with lime green bangs, she's wearing glasses and headphones around her neck. In the background, a man is looking through a vinyl rack. Oddsparks, released this year, nominated for the Deutsche Entwicklerpreis. I wrote on this game, too! The image shows your character, wearing a red cloak with yellow accents and holding a wooden staff. Under their arm, they're holding a wood spark, a tiny creature that looks like a tree stump with googly eyes. They're lookingvdown onto an assembly line from their vantage point on a cliff. Mars Vice, a queer visual novel. The image shows a woman of colour in an olive turtleneck holdingba to go coffee cup. She's quishrd between several anthropomorphic animals. She's looking grumpily up at her partner, a male lion. Mythwrecked! I'm it's lead writer. The image shows Alex, a woman if colour with a poofy bun of natural hair, shorts and a tankntop, in front of several other characters.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap. "I've always loved museums," she says, "but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards' We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

Books looking for a home! And they’re signed too!
dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · Sep 2
These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total).

If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow.

P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books
A character walks into a shop. The sign reads: “Books” Across the floor of the bookshop, past the bookshelves, is a stair down with a sign reading: “Used Books” Across the used books floor is a stair down marked: “Antiquarian Books” Across the antiquarian books floor is a stair down marked: “Forbidden Books of the Elden Ones” Stalactites hang. Strange tomes sit on plinths. Unearthly creatures scuttle in the gloom. A figure stands before a cash desk where a cyclopean, tentacled staff member says: “Yes, we do have the new Stephen King but it's back up on the ground floor.”

Often mistaken for a middle-class Oxbridge graduate, much to his annoyance. In fact a great champion of working-class talent, and supporter of what we're trying to do. This interview seems to have pleasantly surprised a few people, hope you enjoy it:
Mark Gatiss, the boy that Dr Who books made
The League of Gentlemen star and creator of Bookish on his work, snobbery in the arts, and advice for working-class writers.

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week.

If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at hello@tom-cox.com.
