The very fabulous Joan Smith @polblonde at Cambridge Literary Festival yesterday. I went to fan girl and left wanting to read her latest book, gloriously titled ‘But, unfortunately she was a nyphomaniac’ about the abused women of Imperial Rome. 2000 years of domestic abuse 🙄
My experimental creative writing and weaving course taught with Peggy Mends for Cambridge Community Arts starts next week. It’s all new. It’s maybe a little bit crazy. It’s exciting. Wish us luck! (Contact CCA if you want in.)

@ArdenElizaJones This is great. I teach a community creative writing class and have taught loads of brilliant, talented ND writers with stories to tell.
Every Christmas Amazon selects books for their '12 Days of Kindle' promotion, and I am thrilled that 'Because She Looked Away' has been chosen.
The download will be just 99p for the next 12 days. https://t.co/UO4lESc2dD
Cambridge folk: If you, or someone you know, would like to develop your creative writing, I’m teaching a course for Cambridge Community Arts starting in September https://t.co/cgB5imKMkc
@IrradiatedMouse Never prouder of my son than the day he screwed up and chucked his ‘silver’ award certificate in front of the head teacher (he’d been off for his grandfather’s funeral)
@zoerichardsuk @charduck Thank you 😘 Whilst cowering, I overheard you informally coaching a writer through some feedback that had made them sad - you were brilliant - kind and constructive at the same time.
@zoerichardsuk @charduck I went to a writing festival recently and it broke me. I had a near panic attack on the first morning and almost walked in one door and out the other side. Thanks for the honesty.
