@BrittleBoneUK @johnpringdns @DisRightsUK @WomensPrize @agoda @ThistleHotels @TradeStandards @EHRC 10. @MartinSLewis, please read this thread. Do you have any advice please on what to do about a business that’s not meeting its obligations to the Equality Act & causing me heartache and hassle?

@penny_author @BrittleBoneUK @johnpringdns @DisRightsUK @WomensPrize @agoda @ThistleHotels @TradeStandards @EHRC This is appalling. @penny_author I would go straight to the ceo: Jon Scott: [email protected]. Make sure you say you want this issue *escalated*. You can also find Jon on LinkedIn: https://t.co/dV5CEGZNqF

Can highly recommend reading and judging a shortlist picked by @authorsclub writers. They know their literary onions.

[Clare Christian @CIareChristian]

Couldn't agree more!

[Clare Chambers @ClareDChambers]

It’s wonderful when a book lives up to all the praise and prizes. A fascinating story, so confidently told, with thoroughly real characters and agonising moral compromises. Brilliant! ⁦@YoungWriterYear⁩ ⁦@TomCrewe1⁩

Hello @BloomsburyBooks

It would be appreciated when you send out press releases that you mention this.

Indy presses struggle to grab any of the headlines. without your sharp edged elbows.

Just over 2 years ago, Martha Mills died in hospital of sepsis. Her tragic death was avoidable and is leading to the introduction of Martha’s law - a right for families to get second opinions.

She died because of a hospital culture – where questioning and challenge were not routine and speaking up was difficult. The law may be changing but its our culture which needs to change.

Everyone of us who works in hospitals, has to ask ourselves, what more can I do to help change the way we work so that others don’t die for the same reason Martha died. We owe it to her. She deserves nothing less.

In this week’s Mail’s health section, I look at why Martha died and how future deaths could be avoided.

@RedDogTweets Feel for you. I know only too well how painful it is and how hard it is to publish wonderful authors and books into an industry that seems hell bent on knocking us all back. Good luck in all that you go on to do.

My latest column for The Bookseller on the 'are there too many literary prizes?' debate. Not for grass roots books without big marketing budgets ...
