Fruit toast and tea = writer's fuel for a 6am writing sprint on a witchy scene before I tackle uni work. How many @4thewords monsters can I slay while I do it? What's your go to food to boost your creativity? #amwriting #authorlife #foodforcreativity

This is just fabulous 👏👏👏 So many people have been working so hard behind the scenes to show law makers why they need to uphold the copyright laws already in place. We're not there yet, but the message is getting through. And the DeepSeek news is the ultimate irony.

Grab your tickets now. You can enjoy the first half of the UK GHOST STORY FESTIVAL without leaving the comfort of your home

I'm so excited to hear this news. Our Gifted Hearts - a debut by the talented Jennifer Kennedy is heading our way in October 25 Described as a gripping revinvention of a classical tale, blending dark intrigue with the gothic feel of Mexican Gothic and The Silent Companions I can't wait to read.

And this is not the Other Place. If you want to support creative artists here, please repost to increase their posts' visibility. Just Liking a post you've seen doesn't mean your followers will also see it.

I'm back to writing magic and witchcraft 😊 The heart of this manuscript is home but fragrance seems to becoming important. What is your favourite duo or trio of smells? Those that make you happy with just a whiff, those which evokes memories, love or describe you? #bookrsearch

It is said to “Not judge a book by its cover”, but it is often the very thing that draws us to a book! My eyes often drift over to my bookcases & it is the spine or cover of a book that takes me on a journey back to the words written within. Let’s share & celebrate our favourites📚💙#booksky

I’ve read all of these and they’re terrific. Grab them from Prime Reading 😊

Today's tea is Lavender Chamomile. It's a delicate herbal blend. It's floral, subtle, and delicious. I'm listening to We Are The Crisis. A fantasy werewolf novel. It's the sequel to No Gods. No Monsters. #teaismagic #booksky 🩵📚 ☕️🫖

Blackbird and berries! 😀😍🐦 #Birds 🪶

A book I adored this year

Things my 8yo bookworm said on the way to school. 1. Sometimes I get out of breath from reading 2. It’s like you’re a shape, and books can be really good, but some of them don’t fit you. Like you’re a hexagon and they’re an oblong.

Save the date, more details in the New Year!

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work. I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

This Week in Books (11th December, 2024) noveldeelights.com/2024/12/11/t...

We now invite submissions for the Society's 2025 First Book and Early Career Article prizes, to recognise high quality scholarship published in 2024. Full details of author eligibility, and how to submit your first book or article for these prizes, is available here: bit.ly/4i9180F 1/3

So by entering advent calendar giveaways on Instagram I've been suspended from posting and commenting on FB and threads, I'm hoping to find my bookish, and paranormal loving community here. Show me your favourite books, folklore or pictures of pets 📚😻🐶🧙

Early morning wasted thanks to bickering characters from different writing ideas open.substack.com/pub/kakenzie...

I adore this channel. If my character Willow's ancestor had a social media account it would have this vibe www.instagram.com/reel/DDDpqiC...

My desk is ready for Christmas!!!! Maybe it'll help festive words to flow

December - panic stations and it's nowt to do with Christmas. The problem with being brave is you have do do what you said you'd do open.substack.com/pub/kakenzie...

How gorgeous does this look

So excited to be mentioned on a release date tote bag available at the lovely Salient books. I just wish I was in US to get one. If you love indie books and authors, you'll love this bookshop devoted to indies. Dreams are supported and authors flourish salientbooks.shop/products/tot...

To counteract #BlackFriday let's have an #IndieRainbow where we shout indie bookshops and publishers whether they have a sale or not. Please feel free to introduce your fave titles Indies! #indies #independentbookshop #IndieRainbow #bookshops #indiepresses #indiepublishers

Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.

Bit of a reverse Black Friday tip. Go buy a book from an independent bookshop. While the richest companies in the world have another bonanza, put a smile on the face of a struggling writer and bookseller. Thank you x

Some wonderful quotes from authors coming in for Sycorax. Thank you dear fellow scribes 🙏. Read what they think here 👇. Out in February, #Sycorax is also available for pre-order now. #books @waterstones.bsky.social www.waterstones.com/book/sycorax...

Nothing like fish and chips at the seaside even if you can't get out of the car. Pure heaven!

A great thread about going through an offer call. I always tell possible clients to take two weeks to consider.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

I loved this book. It's one that gives you a book hangover and the characters remain forever in your soul

You know what would **really** disrupt the publishing industry? Fair contracts and decent pay for authors. No AI training without the creator’s consent. Artists and translators on the cover. No NDAs for ghostwriters.

If you love #JonathanBailey in #Wicked, you might like to know he appears as gorgeous Jack Dixon in the audiobook of my summer love story, #SomewhereBeyondTheSea. So if you fancy eleven hours of Mr B being a funny, sweet, brilliant romantic hero, check it out! www.audible.co.uk/pd/B078H3ZF9S 💙📚

Morning Yorkshire. The crescent moon and sunrise was worth the pain of hobbling on a broken foot

Good morning, Bluesky friends. There are some fantastic specific writers and publishers in the #writingcommunity on this app. I’ve curated a list of a few here: go.bsky.app/Pmq3Moa

Gluten free food is always expensive and often boring but £4 for 8 tiny truffles is a tad ridiculous @tescoofficial.bsky.social No matter how nice they maybe the price can't be justified to be bought again.

Such a classic that always got banned but was read anyway
