In more 'What I've Been Watching' news, I'd like to thank @joebarton.bsky.social for the line: "I didn't come all this way to hide in a cupboard" (now inexplicably & indelibly etched onto my brain) & tell you all to watch The Lazarus Project – a brilliant, full-of-heart take on the time travel genre

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have enough tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches. If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮 So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇

Trans women, just like all other women, are sisters in the struggle against the misogynistic systems we were all born into. No legal ruling by those systems will ever make that less functionally true. ✌️✨

After months of learning, hard work and the support of a brilliant bunch of people, I've finally submitted my spec script to Channel 4 Drama... Let's see what they think! ❤️ I'm so sad this scheme is coming to a close, but hopeful for the next chapter 🤞🏻

I think completing the UK gov's consultation survey on AI and the creative industries has got to be one of the most opaque, inaccessible, excruciating activities I've ever put myself through.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #1614: Not all writing happens at a desk. If you're feeling stale, feed your mind - go for a walk, read a book, talk to someone, do something new. You don't find inspiration in looking at a screen all day...

Just finished the first draft of my new pilot for the C4 scheme. 60 box-fresh pages that didn't exist before. Yes there will be issues. Yes there will be major revisioning. But for now, universe, eat my goal.

Ugh. If female-led initiatives meant to champion getting more female/older female representation on our screens to help defeat ageism and sexism can't even get it right... 🙄🫤 #ScriptskyUK #Scriptsky #Screenwriting #Screenwriters www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Writing friends, I'm curious... When did you feel comfortable or confident enough to start calling yourself an author? And secondly, do you write short fiction, novels or something else?

Rewatching Severance ahead of S2 in Jan and it's just... Perfect. Even better than I remember (which doesn't seem possible because it's been on my mind since it first aired). So much pressure on S2 to get my 2025 off to a good start though 😅
