@SCBWI_BI been out of YA for ages but asking for friend looking for agent. MS set in South Africa & Africa, gritty but charming. YA fantasy, enviro theme, pandemic underlay, told from POV of bats. Any sense of whether this has legs and who might be interested? 🙏

Thank you to the @TheFugard for all the wonderful memories of productions that made us laugh, cry, think deeply, confront, introspect and sometimes just escape for a while. What a massive loss to our city and to the arts. @CapeTalk

[Rachelle @CreateAStirSA]

Agree, agree, agree!

@CreateAStirSA Oh no! What a tragedy for independent theatre.

When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.

I’m sorry Mr @alanwinde , I have the utmost respect for you for what you have done so far, but as a senior clinician at one of these very institutions , I’m going to have to respectfully call you out on this one - this media spin is disingenuous to the people of the WC. (1/17)
