Today @SapereBooks publish the first in my salty new series of maritime adventures, Tenacious.

I may have been trying to rewrite "24" set on a ship in the 1770s...

For a limited time the ebook version is at a pretty nifty discount too: https://t.co/pgwOcswOhw

Seeing Rob Reiner's Stand By Me aged 12 (the perfect age for it, though I understand it differently now) set me on course to being a writer. Before, I just wanted to be a detective or time traveller. Afterwards I realised being a writer meant I could be all the things. Sad day.

Very pleased to be working with @NatWrites on her hilarious middle grade novel Sheep Swap! Thanks to all who submitted - quality was high across the board and difficult to even draw up a shortlist. I'll be contacting a few people who were on it, but please bear with me.

@writementor I'll also take this opportunity to plug the YouTube masterclass I did with #writementor a few years ago, which will give a sense of the kind of things I tackle with manuscripts: https://t.co/ArxIYo4YXl

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@writementor I always try to help writers take a step back and get perspective. It's easy to get overwhelmed when self-editing. I tackle the big stuff first. Lots of bouncing ideas off each other. And never forgetting to keep it fun, positive and creative. #writementor

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@writementor I would have loved for this programme to have been around when I was a couple of rungs further down. I know writing can be a lonely business and I hope I can help show someone it doesn't need to be. #writementor

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@writementor The second "Cosima Unfortunate" book by Laura Noakes (and I'm not just a big fan because the first Cosima book was one I mentored through #writementor several years ago!) and the first "Wanderdays" book by Clare Povey. Both bursting with imagination.

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@writementor Being on both sides of the editing process means I know how to do it, but also how it feels. I'm very much about making it a fun, creative experience, opening things up rather than shutting things down. #writementor [2/2]

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@writementor As well as being an author myself (a children's novel, various non-fic, adult series coming soon) I've also been a professional editor for over 15 years, working for Bloomsbury (though I am participating only in a personal capacity) #writementor [1/2]

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@writementor I'm looking for someone who has an open mind towards editing, someone who doesn't approach it with dread but who sees it as another step in the creative process. #writementor

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

For anyone looking to get into the publishing industry, particularly as an editor, I’ll be taking part in this panel later this month.

[Writers & Artists @Writers_Artists]

Editing is often the first role that comes to mind when people consider a career in the #publishing industry. In this session we will be bringing together publishing professionals who all have editing as part of their role.

@BookwormVaught I’m in the US until Wednesday otherwise I would have come, but I hope the launch goes well. The Owl Bookshop is a great venue for it (arguably the best indie in north London!).

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@BookwormVaught Okay, we’re on different hills with this one…

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@BookwormVaught I will die on the hill of disinterest with you! I read the writings of Thomas Jefferson and he uses ‘disinterested’ to describe people he considers fair-minded, but now people misquote him and claim he’s praising people for not caring. Misunderstanding is dangerous.

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@jacquidlaw Yes, a lovely display! This is one of the milestones that remind you why we do it.

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

@JoelyDutton Thank you!

[Jonathan Eyers @EyersJonathan]

Delighted to reveal that my new series of maritime adventures will set sail with @SapereBooks - can't wait for you to follow Midshipman Newt Beresford across the oceans, up the ranks and into the heart of battle.
