#saturdaylive Confession: at university in the 90s I danced to IT's RAINING AGAIN and sung it loud instead of It's raining MEN! Clearly a sheltered London private school upbringing did not prepare me for the wider world!! Thank you from Nikki/ Biscuits

[Nikki Mander (née Barrow) @BiscuitsBooks]

Also respect to the forward-thinking authors. Name checks for very good reasons: @david_mitchell and Ali Smith.

[Bluemoose Books @Ofmooseandmen]

This is so important.

The very reason we started Bluemoose in 2006 was to find and publish working class voices.

Many thanks to @ProfKatyShaw @nwnclaire @KitdeWaal @unbounders

It needs to be widely read.

"She writes like a boxer. One punch after another after another til she knocks you out. Break her fingers for me if she carries on like that - I've had enough."
- One of my secondary school teachers.

We have to fight so hard to even have a voice.

[Professor Katy Shaw @ProfKatyShaw]

Huge thanks to @michaelsheen for supporting our #CommonPeople mission to smash the class ceiling in the UK creative industries - read the report & join us today! #InternationalWorkersDay #commonpeople

[Nikki Mander (née Barrow) @BiscuitsBooks]

Do let's start a revolution on 1st May, TODAY. As @nwnclaire says: " Diversity and inclusivity agendas remain central to the marketplace ... A good outcome post-pandemic would be that the stories and creativity of working people attain more traction. "

[Nikki Mander (née Barrow) @BiscuitsBooks]

May 1st. International Workers Day. THRILLED to klaxon the #commonpeople report by @ProfKatyShaw, with @NewWritingNorth. An overdue call for class diversity in publishing: time to break the class ceiling.

@zoeannewest Go for your guns. Feel my (not in fact) pain: husband’s birthday tomorrow, offspring number 1’s on Sunday, Easter Egg hunt. See you on the other, larger side!!

[Nikki Mander (née Barrow) @BiscuitsBooks]

@hannahtrev Great thinking, Hannah. Love this idea.
