Not sure I've ever heard an award acceptance speech that has made me want to go and buy a book as quickly as this one 👏👏👏

Because the world is utterly depressing rn, I'm gonna host another one of these free masterclasses, because what can we do but think and learn and write and organise. I'll be drilling into the fineries of short story structure (vs novels) and how we can make things of transformative beauty in tiny spaces. Free, online, 1hr, Thur 20 November. Pls RT!

Didn't read as much as I wanted to in 2023, but what I did read was transformative. Here were some of my favourites. Tried to get it down to a top 10, settled for a top 12. Here's to another year of reading great books (and hopefully some writing too).

[The Stinging Fly @stingingfly]
