To everyone who has supported my Christmas Charity Print fundraiser, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The response has been incredible and I’ve made over 300 prints.

There is one week to go, orders close Sunday 7 December.

[Euan Ross @circa35mm]

Two and a half weeks in and over 230 prints made in support of two organisations helping vulnerable children.

Can you offer your support?

@alanmccredie @MhairiBlack What a disappointment that whole generation of politicians turned out to be.

[The Dark Horse @thedarkhorsemag]

Thrilled to be on this shortlist with The Ayrshire Nestling, & honoured that it's with such terrific other writers and books. And delighted too for Sheila Wakefield's @RedSquirrelPres, the new imprint of which, Tringa, took a chance on my wee book. 🙏🙏 to @SaltireBook Awards!

[Dr Alex Boyd @AlexBoyd]

Readers: "bracingly uncompromising"; "the only [poetry magazine] I read from cover to cover"...

[Natasha Carthew @natashacarthew]

Great article on the shitshow that is the Salt Path - so many of us writers rip our hearts out in the name of good 'honest' memoir writing, the kind of writing that is written with authentic voice at its roots, don't see near the success of this book

Why? Because our stories are about real, truthful #workingclass lives, they are about the lived experience of socioeconomic hardship, the lasting longevity of poverty, prejudice and unfairness at every level and at every stage of our writing careers

Great to see that my @CommonGroundLit prize gets a mention too, now more than ever we need to raise our voices, here on common ground x

@LearNonsense many congratulations Sara!

[Dr Alex Boyd @AlexBoyd]

Hello. I'm one of three Ayrshire lads cycling 250 miles from Irvine to Inverness to raise money for @N_T_S. We want to help efforts to replant Glen Rosa on Arran after the devastating wildfires in April. Any help (or RTs) appreciated! ❤️

@Jwknock @roddy_murray I thought it was a dipper! We had them in our local river (in Ayrshire). I could happily watch them for ages. As usual this is me wondering if Roddy is spinning a yarn.
