@hannahsackville @BBCUpload @BBCSounds Thanks, Hannah!

[The Flagging Dad @andyc1421]

My @bbcupload interview is now on @BBCSounds which is very exciting.

Big thanks again to @hannahsackville for having me on. Really good fun!

Think it’s given me the motivation to get writing again (once the Euros finish…)

@ktaussig Ah, thanks so much, Kathryn. Ha, glad to hear it was relatable! I’ve had a good look at the Storm Publishing website - looks brilliant. Thinking I’ll take the feedback and suggestions on board, tighten up my manuscript, and submit to you guys soon.

[The Flagging Dad @andyc1421]

Hi @ktaussig, just wanted to say a big thank you for your positive comments on my (pop up) submission yesterday. Your feedback was extremely helpful and it has given me a real boost.

This weekend a bunch of @LUFC fans are attempting the daft task of walking 109 miles in 3 days to raise funds for our mate’s wife’s cancer treatment. Any donations would be massively appreciated! MOT.
