@MarianKeyes Fortunately I grew up with a Mum who was a great cook, so dinner was always at the kitchen table. She now has a big round one, and it's the highlight of our week to sit around it with her for a proper conversation. Hope we can all do it again soon!

I know several kids (and parents!) who will be delighted by this news.

Getting a sensitivity reader/someone to quality control your depictions of others when the book has already gone to print feels like closing the door when the horse has already bolted. Plan from the start to get things right.

There needs to be a clear and protected way people can speak out when they're being harassed. Ireland's culture of silence about this has gone on for far too long.

Amazing.

Sikh men in solidarity w/ Muslim men against muslim persecution in India

"You say that you can identify us by our clothing. Now look at my clothes and tell me who I am. Am I Muslim, hindu, Sikh. What is my name, Satpal Singh, or Mohammad Ashif?"

@fromthebigface I love the idea. Get terrible travel sickness when I read on the bus though. Wonder if an audiobooks would count?

I set up this scholarship for a writer who can’t otherwise afford the course - it covers the fees (£7k). UEA changed my life and I’m so grateful for the scholarship which enabled me to do it. Apply! I’m proud to name this scholarship after my grandparents, Enid and Arthur Bourne.

[POLL] With many asking if it’s moral for authors to profit from traumas they haven’t experienced, there’s increasing pressure on writers to divulge their personal histories.

Should authors writing about trauma disclose their experiences to justify their chosen subject matter?

So short, but took so long to write.

Two brothers. One simple job. How wrong can an art heist go? In faerie-controlled Edinburgh, very, very wrong. Enlisting the aid of Nexus, a desperate mage, Houdini searches for Ichiro. But his trickery and Nexus' magical debts are about to collide with deadly results. #WriTweet
