Imagine just half the energy campaigning against trans rights had been put into - Fighting the underfunding of women’s refuges - Fighting for single mums - Fighting for low-paid women Compared to fighting trans rights, which would have had most impact on women’s lives?

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 👇

I've been doing a lot of thinking about yesterday's court case. I feel pretty helpless about the whole thing. But, I've written to my MP about it (a tory, so... 🤷). In case you want to write to yours, here's a screenshot (text in ALT). Hopefully I can at least save some folk that mental labour.

An absolute must-read, gut-punch, powerhouse of a novel. Well deserving of all the praise so far, and that that's incoming. It'll make you uncomfortable, but It's an extraordinary piece of writing!
