@ShipleyWrites Oh wow, that’s such a glorious coincidence! Huge congratulations to you guys right back! It is definitely the most wonderful thing ❤️

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

@ShipleyWrites Well, I became a Mama four months ago, so life is pretty bonkers-brilliant right now! Hope you’re well too.

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

Thrilled and utterly inspired to see my old UEA MA mucker Priscilla Morris on the Women’s Prize shortlist for her astoundingly written novel Black Butterflies, set during the siege of Sarajevo. Couldn’t be more well-deserved!

[Women's Prize @WomensPrize]

@ninasstrand @UniOfHull Congratulations on the big finish, Nina!

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

@jaynecormie Congratulations!

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

@ShipleyWrites @bogcritter Isn’t it fabulous? The subversion of roles, reader expectations, our role as third watcher - so clever, and gorgeously written. Already wondering if I can work it into our new MA course lists somewhere…

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

Adore this multi-layered, unsettling short fiction about the artist’s gaze. New fan here, @bogcritter, excited to read more of your work!

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

Incredible (and RARE) funded PhD opportunity for sci-fi writers!

@jaynecormie @UniOfHullOnline Sending best wishes, Jayne - that last wait is tough ❤️

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

@DrMaggieHamand @KLickorishQuinn @StanchionZine That cover is 😍🔥
Congratulations, Karina, excited to get my own copy soon!

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

@seanlusk1 @DevaneEmily Echo this, beautiful book. Also Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag. Intergenerational family drama with a sinister subtext. Still haunts me. Shakespearean in scope, super-charged by compression.

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

Such a joy to be reunited with the one and only @ellora_sutton for her inspiring presentation on making it as a poet (and YES, you can earn a living!) ❤️
@WritingNULondon @NortheasternLDN

[Ellora Sutton (she/her) @ellora_sutton]

Today I gave a lecture to some very lovely (and outrageously talented) Creative Writing undergrads at Northeastern University London. Here are some highlights from my (highly professional and academic) presentation:

[Claire Griffiths @CKGriffiths7]

@ShipleyWrites Oh David, HUGE congratulations on such a massive achievement! Wishing you the very best with those PhD applications too!
