Thank you so much for this amazing testimonial Reeta Chakrabarti. All I can say is that I love every minute of working together. Finding Belle, out on 8th May 2025. An absolute cracker of a debut novel.

Happy #MotivationMonday! My video channel has loads of Ask The Book Doctor sessions, covering a wide range of writing issues. And there will be some new ones up soon... Apologies for the very Lockdown feel (and hair!) of the early ones. But here they all are: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This. Pretty much every cool opportunity I've ever got came about because someone went "Oh, you should speak to...", and I've done the same for others whenever possible. A rising tide lifts all boats, and all that.

If I get a Chat message (and this had started happening on T*****r too) that just says "Hello" or "Great to make contact" or something, but doesn't mention my name or have any other message, I'll block you because, suss. So if you're genuine and I've blocked you, that's why and sorry.

I often say to the authors I'm working with that, should it get published, THIS is how they want their readers to feel when they're reading their book. PAGETURNABILITY people. #BookSky

Of course I'd love to work with you on your manuscript. But if you just fancy a chat to talk about any aspects of your writing, especially work in progress, that'd be lovely too. Read about what we can do together, or see some How To... videos here: sallyoj.com

People of the Bluesky, things are a bit quiet on the work front. If you need a writer I’m available. I’ve worked for TV, radio, print, advertising - all the medias. If you need help with a corporate Christmas speech, I can add the Lolz mathew-owen.co.uk RT or whatever it is over here, please, cheers

Agents and publishers out there, I'd love to build a relationship with more of you, either to be able to punt manuscripts to you sometimes, or to work with you in any ways that'd be helpful, as with Lennie, below. My website address is in my bio.
