Advice for (aspiring) writers:
- Persevere - don’t give up.
- Just start!
- Go for it!
- Practice your craft.

Not to mention that moment when you recommend ‘The Stranger’ by Albert Camus to a philosophy student on the way to the #MerkyBooksLive event, then @judeblay chooses it as his favourite book - it’s definitely moved back to the top of our TBR pile!
We’re still glowing from Wednesday’s #MerkyBooksLive trip! So many relatable, dynamic figures - from established favourites like @malorieblackman @BZephaniah @akalamusic to new authors @judeblay @OreOgunb @chelseakwach - who inspired & empowered our pupils!#RiseUp
So this week I’ve missed my chance to get @MichelleObama tickets and found out about #MerkyBooksLive too late. Can you guys please let me know of any upcoming events I may be interested in? I like all things literature, strong women, education, race and culture, beauty...
This is my favourite picture from #MerkyBooksLive yesterday because these lot proper give me jokes.
Have to thank @judeblay for supporting #TheReachOutProject & inspiring our boys. I look forward to touching base with them about the book this weekend 💜
Yesterday the @mostlylit team went to the #MerkyBooksLive event at the @BarbicanCentre and we loved every minute of it. It was awesome seeing how the written and spoken word can bring so many people together. Blackness galore 👑
Last night I went to Stormzy's #MerkyBooksLive event and I am more determined than ever to get the writings of my young kings published 🙏🏾 @PenguinUKBooks
Big Thanks @Juvenis for giving 2 young people the opportunity to go #MerkyBooksLive an up close and personal night with #Stormzy #riseup
We had such an amazing response to the #MerkyBooksLive talent callout – thank you to every one of you for sharing your work with us! Special shoutout to our 6 shortlisted poets. Can't wait to hear more from you... #MERKY
Shout out to Brandon Turner, the winner of our #MerkyBooksLive talent callout! Absolutely smashed it, along with @CalebFemi5 & @bridgetminamore. Congratulations, Brandon!
Huge thank you to everyone who made it out to #MerkyBooksLive @BarbicanCentre last night! And massive thanks so @PenguinBooks, Stormzy & all those who performed and shared in such inspiring conversations. #MERKY
Super inspirational stuff at the #MerkyBooksLive event yesterday
Stormzy is really out here changing the game & it's incredible to see 🏆
Inspiring words from @malorieblackman at last night’s #MerkyBooksLive show with @akalamusic @BZephaniah @chelseakwach @OreOgunb and Jude Yawson. Big up the #merky team. What an achievement! #ThursdayThoughts
Great hearing #Stormzy @akalamusic @OreOgunb @chelseakwach @malorieblackman and Jude speak at the launch of #MerkyBooksLive last night - some equally brilliant spoken word artists 1/2
The bees had an amazing time at #MerkyBooksLive and left feeling so inspired. I asked one young bee what did you take from the event and she said “Do not allow anything to limit you” - @BTProject_ @judeblay Thank you so much and we are so proud of you Jude🐝💡✨
The amount of young people I saw at #MerkyBooksLive really made me smile.. and it's so mad because none of them knew who Malorie Blackman or Benjamin Zephaniah were but the moment they spoke, they could all relate. Mad.
