📚 Calling all debut novelists! 📚
I can’t quite believe it’s 3 years since I was a debut and launched the very first DIARY OF A DEBUT NOVELIST festival. Chuffed it’s still going strong! RT, follow and DM me to pop your name in the hat for the 2023 fest!https://t.co/d8fQVh6zpn

[Diane Billas queer YA author @dianebillas]

Dealing with a change in your writing routine is hard. I’m going through that right now since I’ve had my baby but I’m learning ways to come to terms with this. Thank you to the lovely people in the @debuts23 group for all of your support and wisdom!

Isn't she beautiful????

[Chikodili is @chemelumadu]

#Dazzling is here. Tried to do a happy, screaming video but halfway through coming upstairs I started weeping like a dickhead. Nobody died, yet, here I am. Jesus Christ. Millenials are truly the worst.

Can't wait to meet Nora!

[Cate Green #TheCuriousKidnappingof NoraW out now @saracategreen]

[Jules Swain @thereadingpara]

After a psychological thriller full of complete b*tches with a tension building plot that could only ever end in devastation? Look no further than #TheThingsWeDoToOurFriends by @HeatherDarwent 🐍

[2023 Debut Stars @debuts23]

@RonaliCollings Awwww thank you Ronali. You are such a treasure for sharing ❤️

[2023 Debut Stars @debuts23]

@tashajhastings @clotimms I (Mira) suffer from asthma. One of my protagonists suffers too (not in a hugely noticeable way) but it's there. I wrote her with this condition for exactly the reason would have stated above!

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

Jazz hands at the ready for the proof jacket of my next novel, OH, SISTER, coming out in April. It’s the story of three women breaking free & finding their voice. I can’t wait for the world to meet Jen, Isobel & Zelda.

@WriteBecsWrite Such incredible news. What a superstar moment xxxx

[2023 Debut Stars @debuts23]

The best news for this incredible book and author 👇🏼 If you find yourself in Sainsburys, do add this book to your trolley.

[Rebecca Ryan @WriteBecsWrite]

I had two years to get used to the idea of seeing My (extra) Ordinary Life in the shops. Still completly blew my mind! Official release date is 5th Jan but it's in Sainsburys through December. I was a total mess for my entire shop! #debut23 #WritingCommunity

[Chikodili is @chemelumadu]

Thanks so much @forthygreatpain

For Thy Great Pain is a stunning novel about grief, motherhood and grace, and it’s also the story of the beginning of women’s writing in English.
