[Lorna Partington @BooksWithSpine]

I'm on a mission to help #writers hone their self-editing skills because I believe it’s a waste of their creative efforts, time, and hard-earned money submitting a manuscript to an editor, agent, publisher, or reader before it’s as ready as it can be. https://t.co/ugtRyFmgMX

It's a small announcement on this page (scroll down!) but a HUGE deal for me to be one of 3 finalists in the @Mslexia novel contest for my book 'Becoming'! Congrats to the winner, other finalists and shortlistees.

After a 7 mile walk, feeling like this building looks.

Greatly enjoying the general election wit. I've missed you Twitter (#TwitterNotX).

[Lorna Partington @BooksWithSpine]

The amount of fiction that will undoubtedly be produced by the UK general election could fill Waterstones. Brace yourselves, folks. Fact-check everything.

Super useful advice for fiction writers looking for an agent. @workshopwrite

[Bath Novel Awards @BathNovelAward]

Grappling with a novel synopsis? We asked 10 literary agents for their advice on this notoriously difficult beast. https://t.co/1bSwuHb8qJ

I'm thrilled to see my grandfather, Arthur Partington, is the cover star of this new book. Can't wait to read it! Thanks @Mark_Forsdike for giving the men the recognition they deserve for their bravery and sacrifice.

[Mark Forsdike @Mark_Forsdike]

I’m delighted to inform you all that my third book - ‘A Battalion in Burma’ has now been published.

Chronicling the Suffolk Regiment’s part in the harsh and unforgiving Burma campaign, it follows their successes and setbacks, 1943/44.

For me, it was a story that had to be told.
