I'm over the moon to have two poems in Lothlorien Poetry Journal @lothlorienpoetryj.bsky.social today!

We still have some tickets available for our FREE and ONLINE March 22nd literary event: six great writers, six brilliant talks. Book your ticket now! This is not to be missed! www.creativecommunitysessions.com/p/get-your-t...

I'm delighted to have a story coming soon in @variantlit.bsky.social, Issue 20! Exciting!

The CNF longlist is coming tomorrow! Short stories today, though! We are very grateful for all the submissions we received, and treated them all with care. Thanks to everyone who submitted! ❤️

There's just over a month to go to this FREE online literary event. Book your ticket now, but hurry, because they are going fast and space is limited! www.creativecommunitysessions.com/p/get-your-t...

Buster chilling after a busy day supervising the writing effort!

Thank you for your patience with us all here at @frazzledlit.bsky.social HQ. We will start sending responses next week! www.frazzledlit.com/p/longlists-...

I just finished reading REMBRANDT'S PROMISE, Barbara Leahy's @barbleahy.bsky.social debut novel, and it's a TRIUMPH! With her vivid depiction of the Low Countries during the Dutch Golden Age, and with such rich characters, I can only guess that Barbara has a time machine! Get it on March 27!

Hope to see some of you at this, I will be sharing my *ahem* wisdom & some of the insights I have gained on my writing journey for the last few years. I hope it will be of help to new writers& that this might make some of you feel a little less alone in your creative struggles. Tickets are free! ❤️

Tickets are free for this online Creative Community event on 22nd March. Check out the link www.creativecommunitysessions.com/p/get-your-t...
