If you're a #freelancer in the creative sector in Scotland, you might find this an interesting survey to complete, esp if considering making changes this year but would appreciate some support doing that. I did, anyway (though whether it will make a difference, who knows).

[Scot Gov Culture @culturescotgov]

Culture Secretary @AngusRobertson has confirmed Dame Sue Bruce will chair the independent review of @CreativeScots.

A new survey to help inform the scope of the review has also been launched today.

@HEGrahamWriter @JerichoWriters @LiverpoolLit Very exciting! An excellent read, which I highly recommend to readers of historical fiction, and also to anyone with a fondness for Edinburgh, which grounds the setting so vividly - I had a wonderful time tracing The Real Mackay's life through its streets 🙂

[HelenBleck @HelenBleck]

This is a really fun thing to do - I did it a few years ago, and as a bonus got to see some amazing speakers I might well have missed otherwise. Check it out ...

@Cosmic_Serf @rachel_connor Fascinating! That careful analysis and word-love is everything in what we do. (Though it hurts to see such a heavily marked proof - always the way with proofs - suddenly it all jumps off the page. Glad to see it's scrutiny more than correction 🙂)

[Extra Teeth @extrateethmag]

A little news from us: we're going on hiatus, for one calendar year.

Don’t be alarmed; we’re not closing down. But we are taking a break, for reasons of sanity. Let us tell you why, here:
