No one has ever done this before but I've started a newsletter about running and mental health. It is also probably going to be a bit about writing and, like everything in life, a bit gay. Maybe you'd like to subscribe? It's nice! https://t.co/AC8jEcLhzk

Hello! Popping my head up on X to tell you I’ve written a piece about late coming of age, second adolescence and the writing of Making It my fourth novel for @marieclaireuk . TLDR: divorce is bad but my book is good

It is disappointing to even have to make this statement, but we are proud to stand with, and stand up for, trans and nonbinary people, alongside our fellow Pride networks at PRH and PanMac.

@avocayo_ this is so so lovely, thank you!! 💛

[Matt Cain @MattCainWriter]

This book is a masterpiece! It’s a sensitively drawn, powerful portrayal of a queer life with mental illness and finding a way out through creativity. It’s funny, uplifting and romantic, plus no-one does queer friendships like @lauraelizakay! ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️

My author copies of MAKING IT arrived today! There are 7 million of them and I live in a small flat with a wolf so if you work for a charity/are organising a fundraiser etc. where a copy or two might be useful then lmk!

[Laura Kay @lauraelizakay]

If you were thinking of preordering MAKING IT then this #IndieBookshopWeek is a really good time to do it - sweet angels @QueerLitUK have got 10% off which makes Making It cheaper than a pint ??(almost I’m not a mathematician ok)

[Laura Kay @lauraelizakay]

last night was so nice and fun thank you @WaterstonesPicc and @HachettePride for asking me to host - I got to speak to lots of brilliant people and ask them questions like ‘have you got any tattoos?’ Huge for the queer literary community - thank you 🙏
