We're calling on the new Labour Government to support our plans to make the North East the centre of creativity for the writing industries.

Let's establish a Centre for Writing in Newcastle and reposition the industry's southern and London bias 💫

@LinzDigs 100% - it's not optional!

Do I need to really say it again? Pay your freelancers please. Do you get a haircut and not pay, no? Do you walk out of shops with new clothes and not pay? No, so why do we get treated like we are some kind of afterthought, always chasing up invoices.

@FullerloveHeidi Bookings and traffic are down, yet the 'Mykonisation' of other islands marches on. How many people are heading to Paros, Ios, Naxos, Foleagandros and Syros instead + as a result pushing those islands to replicate Mykonian businesses and prices. #DisneyCyclades

@FullerloveHeidi It wouldn't be summer without that story! And anyway, they can get away with anything!

I admire the sheer dedication of this list of Lit Journals ranked in order (and pleased I've been published in a few of them!) But goes to show how many a) are pay to submit models and b) still aren't paying authors for their work! #litmags #Writing https://t.co/haMkc9B0Zv
