I'm proud to say that my debut novel, By Her Hand, will be out in March 2025. Huge thanks to my publisher Catherine Milne for picking this story up. And to designer Sandy Cull for this utterly beautiful artwork. @harpercollinsaustralia https://t.co/pMXiG196ri

Media release: The @MelbSymphony has again overstepped the mark by declaring that a concert stage is not an appropriate forum for political comment. https://t.co/5uNYYuLn2t

Imagine being a tax payer funded cultural institution, one that houses wisdom and art and history inside its walls, and being terrified that young poets and writers are condemning genocide.

Fucking *****pathetic***** @Library_Vic

@1KarenWyld Congratulations Karen! It sounds epic and no doubt will be phenomenal. Enjoy that writing joy!

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

@kmjgardiner I really feel for the library staff who are always so wonderful. They (and us and the library itself) have been let down so badly by this terrible management.

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

Amazing!

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

@danielle_binks @AlboMP @AlboMP - sit down, they know. Also - it doesn't matter if they didn't, because they don't need a map to see the slaughter and the oppression, or to see that your government is complicit in it. They just need a shred of humanity and a beating heart, two things you have lost.

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

Love this! Amazing work from @yvanspijk
This is why babies are 'bearns' in my manuscript.

@1KarenWyld @asauthors I only found it because I saved the link at the time. I thought it could've gone harder but was happy to see something. Feb was a while ago though. More visible support for writers and pressure on public institutions (hi @StateLibraryVic) not to cave like wet lettuce is lacking.

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

@LisaOz6 Thank you Lisa! And congratulations on The Engraver's Secret. It looks and sounds delectable. I cannot wait to read it.

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

So so so happy to share this news!

[HarperCollins Aus @HarperCollinsAU]

We're so proud to announce that we have acquired ANZ rights to FREIDA by @TaffeMarion- a sweeping, enthralling & compelling novel, which speaks to the world of medieval manuscripts, the gatekeeping of story, & the creative power of a woman’s anger.

@AmyMantravadi Gosh! So many things! Mostly an interest in devout women of the time (my Mum was a nun once), how they survived in a land at war. Also love the stories & really interested in Aethelflaed as martial leader and peace weaver in one, and what she might have meant for Mercian women.

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

So good. Please give Amy all the church/history PhDs.

[Amy Mantravadi @AmyMantravadi]

Important moments in Church history as portrayed by the cast of Friends. A thread.🧵

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

@AmyMantravadi I am!

[Marion Taffe @TaffeMarion]

@danielle_binks They really told that strike how condemned it is.
