Thank goodness we have books like yours to escape into. I’m finding I prefer to read rather than put the news on.

[Hazel Prior @HazelPriorBooks]

The more I see of world news the more I need trees and books and music.

SJ has a problem with her marriage, or is it her sister? Or is it her drinking? https://t.co/hXlJfRuKQa

[Tiggy Hayes @TiggyHayes]

@HazelPriorBooks Never give up and join writing groups. Different ones at different stages of their journeys. Knowing you are not alone in this very solo passion is invaluable for advice, support and inspiration.

[Della Galton Author @DellaGalton]

I'm so excited that she's finally here. SJ is ready to meet her public!

[Simon Whaley: Author | Writer | Photographer @simonwhaley]

Finally, it's here! Book 3 in the Marquess of Mortiforde Mysteries. It's called Flaming Murder, and writing it was flaming murder, but it was worth it! https://t.co/zIWmYqNVCD

MASTERCLASS
This Sat April 12

In nonfiction, we don’t invent people—we discover them. Through interviews, observation, & research, we begin to understand who they are.

Once they land on the page, they need to feel alive—complex, emotionally resonant.

@HazelPriorBooks Go with it Hazel They’ll lead you in the right direction

Copyright law is not complicated at all. If you want to use an author's work you need to ask for permission. If you use it without permission you're breaking the law. It's so simple. It'll be incredibly difficult for us, and for other affected industries, to take on Meta, but we'll have a good go!

(Btw if you don't really care, that's ok, you don't need to tell me. Use that energy to fight for things you do care about) ❤️❤️

[Tiggy Hayes @TiggyHayes]

So sorry I can’t make this. Two fabulous writers together. Have a great event.

[Sarah Easter Collins @saraheastercols]

I am so looking forward to this!
