Happy 5th birthday to my celebrity journalism memoir, Ryan is Ready for You Now, the little book that could (eat most of the snacks in hospitality at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills).

What adventures we’ve had! 🧡

Hello.

What do you call a chicken in a shell suit?

An egg.

Think you can do better? Let’s hear it then.

Must remember to post on Blue Sky more often!

Here’s my latest Substack missive. Picasso plays a leading role.

RIP the wonderful Richard Chamberlain, who I had the good fortune to meet at a house party in LA. It was afternoon tea and he offered to pour mine for me. Naturally, I was thrilled. What a lovely man.

Sometimes I know exactly what I’m going to write for my Monday motivation and other times, I end up talking about Marty Feldman and Ilford Town Hall…

So far, I’m not vibing with Blue Sky.

What am I doing wrong? It’s all going so much better on Threads.

I’m a writer, author & book editor who runs a writers group online and in real life.

I’m launching my writing workshops in the New Year & I like to take photos of the seaside.

Any advice?

The last Write to Know newsletter of the year is packed with recommendations, long reads, gift ideas and comps. And a lot of me gushing over Merchant Ivory movies. Also, muppets 💚

It’s the complete ‘how to’ of celebrity interviews from getting the brief to red carpets. Here’s a little more about it…

When I self published I did all my own marketing.

I’m also a journalist with many years in media under my belt, so this is a world I know.

I assembled a press pack, with a press release, photos and all the other elements you need to make the media notice you.

I’ve been studying for the first time in decades & it hasn’t been easy.

It’s been a complete change in terms of the style of writing & absorbing information. Thankfully, my journalism has helped in terms of organisation & research. 1/2
