Excellent opportunity. And bear in mind, after you've been an intern for a couple of years, you may enter the House of Lords.

Two kids, several novels, a lot of TV. But this jigsaw may be my finest achievement.

[Mark Illis @markillis1]

@FintanOHiggins It was a Christmas present, so I’m not sure where you’d find it.

@mickwriter Thank you!

I wrote a thing ...

[Royal Literary Fund @royallitfund]

Writer @markillis1, contemplates loneliness and the writer in our #podcast, Vox.

He says,’ You don’t need to be gregarious, but you do need to be curious.’

What do you think? Do you need silence to write? Or do you go a bit Jack Torrance?
