A group of writers and I have started @saloneurope.bsky.social, an in-person and online event series to connect writers in Europe. Many events are free, and those that charge are just to cover costs. They’re warm, friendly and really fun!

Our Annual Salon is in Brussels this year, info in our bio💛

I attended in Berlin — it was great, genuinely sociable and I discovered more than one new writer. Thanks!

royakhatiblou.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ah, so glad to hear it! We all met online and wanted a way for writers to make real friendships with other writers

samatlounge.bsky.social•9 days ago

sounds very cool. Best of luck with it x

Today we publish the paperback of Ghost Mountain by @ronanhession.bsky.social . His debut, Leonard and Hungry Paul has just spent 11 weeks in the German top 20 bestseller lists peaking at No.8.

drewgum.bsky.social•9 days ago

Thank you!

I recently had a new book out, Saltburn, and now I have some reviews, interviews, and a soundtrack(!) for it I set up its own LinkTree site.

As social media is so fast and things disappear it’s a good way of providing info about your book / whatever.

Good morning! My good news of the day is that my favourite queer indie bookshop is now stocking my queer middle grade book: https://www.queerlit.co.uk/products/cottonopolis

danacea.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, plz!

Celebrating my 168th (cough) birthday, this is free, just today (24th April)

A ageing biker, who's far too old for this shit
The mushie-trip to end all mushie-trips
And a derelict fantasy world, lost to madness

Proofs are ready this week of my debut novel, Keshed, out in Feb with @ortacpress.bsky.social. Early feedback is encouraging 👇👇👇👇👇

stuhennigan.bsky.social•9 days ago

"Timely and urgent. Hennigan is one of the country’s finest writers on the confluence of capitalism and class ... a beautiful, visceral, gut-punch of a novel." Angharad Hampshire, Walter Scott Prize-shortlisted author of The Mare.

stuhennigan.bsky.social•9 days ago

"Profane, darkly funny, unflinching in its focus on the wreckage of ordinary lives: Henngian is a voice we need." Naomi Booth

stuhennigan.bsky.social•9 days ago

"An incredibly powerful book. Immersive, visceral and compelling." Mark Bowles, Goldsmiths Prize-shortlisted author of All My Precious Madness.

Thank you so much, I have not had my coffee yet this morning so brain is not up to full speed yet!

leannareneehieber.bsky.social•9 days ago

Understood! *Nothing* can happen in my universe without coffee. I'm a night owl so I'm still in late-night writing mode on my side of the pond. 👻

drlindseyfitz.bsky.social•9 days ago

Hitting the pre-order button so hard on this one!
