On 9th July I'm speaking at the Creative Network with @CreativeLivesCL about my belief that writing should be more about freedom, self-expression, playful exploration and joy, than about outcomes. It's free for anyone to join if you'd like to participate.

This woman ♥
She's at the point we're all at. I don't know what it's called. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say.
My heart is so 💔 it will never mend.

“When you are in a court battle with a perpetrator, the trauma hasn’t necessarily been processed. You are still in it. It is afterwards when that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops. Victims are left more in the dark than anyone else.” Having to pay £1000s for transcripts compounds the injustice that keeps victims in the dark and prevents them healing. There should at the very least be a right to the judge’s summing up to the jury and their sentencing remarks.
I'll be running a session on writing issue-based fiction for children and young people and I'll also be hosting pitching sessions with @rachelpmann and @HachetteUK. Pitching slots are selling fast so book your ticket soon.
