Wonderful to hear debut author Rachel Bower talk about her novel It Comes From The River. Folklore mixes with the lives of 3 strong Northern women. Great to hear our voices amplified @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Wonderful to attend the Chemistry #SpokenWord #OpenMic at the Thackray Medical Museum last night. First time hearing @rosiegarlandwriter.bsky.social read which was a treat. Thanks for organising @joewilliamswriter.bsky.social and to all the poets reading. #Leeds #poetry

Great news! The people have spoken. Support our #museums, #galleries and #libraries. If we don't use them, we'll lose them. Their "current exhibition is called Story Time and includes a huge variety of historic #books and games, each exploring the magical world of children's stories." #Leeds

Hello, all. Because of the entry system screw up last night and we're a little low on entries, we'll reopen for 24 hours as soon as we can make it happen on Monday morning, so you have the weekend to get your entry ready, and we'll announce Monday when we're open! Share?! bssp.blogs.bristol.ac.uk

Do you know of any #Leeds based literary agents? Or failing that #Yorkshire? I'm not aware of any in Leeds. Genuinely asking for a friend. Pic: credit Tintu-Mon. Does not relate to any writer alive or dead unless you tell me differently!
