"The pressure to write a second novel after a glittering debut can leave an author in total panic, which is why Second Novel Syndrome is something that most authors identify with" @ClaireFuller2 @PretiTaneja @Claire_Trini #EimearMcBride https://t.co/EpZxmxlr4n

Thank you for all the congrats, it's all very exciting! I have a block on my SM so I only get 5m every few hours... that's why I'm a bit slow to respond to everyone! But THANK YOU to @DElliottPrize for a wonderful evening and congrats to all the authors on short/longlistings xx

Thank you @DElliottPrize for a wonderful evening at @Fortnums this evening. Alan Hollinghurst’s speech was inspirational and I hope it will be published somewhere.
