@WorkingClassCol I’m in Bestwood Village and would love to be involved in this :-) How do I get in touch?

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

@myddelton News of a Kidnapping, non-fic by Gabriel García Márquez on the kidnappings of prominent Colombians by the Medellín drug cartel in the 1990s. A brilliant read!

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

Love @tessacooper5, love @collab_future and now they’re sharing their expertise with the world! Congrats to the whole team because these assets are 🔥 So much for orgs to learn on what great #recruitment looks like here 👏👏👏

[Tess Cooper 🏳️‍🌈 @tessacooper5]

I'm so excited that our team have made our knowledge freely accessible to orgs! We hope people get lots of value from exploring the resources!

And that we learn how to better support people with their DEI efforts 🙏❤️

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

@juskasim is brilliant as per! This episode feels like you’re squirrelled away with him and Sureka in the corner of a party getting all the good gossip! 👏 👏 👏 #amwriting #amreading

[make it make sense @mimspod]

🚨EP 07🚨 w/ podcast regular ⁦@juskasim⁩ as he speaks to us about his role as Asst. Editor. We speak about what it takes for a book to be acquired by publishers as well as the many reasons it won’t. We also dive into unsustainable salaries. https://t.co/kZlyk1Fnc0

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

Loving the latest episode of @mimspod :-) Bloody inspiring to hear from @amymaereads about how she founded @badformreview. I'm genuinely blown away by women like her who don't wait for permission and just Get.Shit.Done💚 Thanks as ever to Sureka for being such a gorgeous host 💚

[make it make sense @mimspod]

🚨EP 06 🚨with ⁦the remarkable @amymaereads⁩. We spoke about a great many things that I can’t summarize in one tweet. Lucky you get to listen to the entire episode! My favourite take-away…the importance of consistency when trying to make a change. https://t.co/mg0yR5rFbP

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

*LOVE* that when @Nelle_Andrew is asked what makes a good agent, she leads with ‘a deep sense of empathy’ 💜 Another great episode from @SurekaT_D! I planned a long evening walk to listen and was not disappointed! #amwriting

[make it make sense @mimspod]

🚨EP 05🚨with ⁦@Nelle_Andrew⁩. This one’s for the agents, for those hoping to enter the industry and needing an honest view in as well as for writers that want to know what it means for an agent, like Nelle, to stand in your corner. https://t.co/LO8yGLBlTY

@mimspod @harriet_3871 @cbcreative @womenwritersnet @CatRentzenbrink @ambi_mae @hotelalphabet @clarehowdle @VictoriaRohner @wordsbyER @LaurenDeanSpen1 @ballyanghoney @Sophie_RThomas Yes! Writing is a team sport! So much love for and @ambi_mae and your work! 🙌

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

WOW! Thank you @JessGeorge_ for such fantastic insights into the industry. I’m so happy you made it with #MAAME! This is such a great listen! Hats off too to @SurekaT_D for creating such a beautiful audio space for us all to meet in💜 #amwriting #amreading

[make it make sense @mimspod]

🚨EP 04🚨 with @JessGeorge_ is up! We speak about her tender and compelling debut, how she made space for a version of grief that she was unfamiliar with and just how many times she made me cry (and laugh) while reading #MAAME. https://t.co/WycCfi9Jj1

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

Another belter of an episode from @SurekaT_D! Genuinely inspiring to hear @juskasim’s tales of rejection - it takes so much grit and resilience to keep bouncing back in the way he did. He is beautifully candid, funny and insightful. 💯 #amwriting

[make it make sense @mimspod]

🚨EPISODE 02🚨w/ author of GOOD INTENTIONS @juskasim. We chat about his dedication & resilience in the face of multiple rejections of multiple manuscripts before his debut novel hit, his masterful dialogue and the beautiful dedication to his grandparents. https://t.co/brVoZCNDSL

@mimspod @Nelle_Andrew But perfectionism feels like the barrier to progress. I’m finding the idea of letting those first three chapters loose into the world really scary! What does Nelle look for in those first few pages? Thank you! 🙏

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

@mimspod @Nelle_Andrew It’s so hard to know when your MS is ‘ready’ for agents! Can Nelle offer any advice on this please? I know that whatever I send to an agent isn’t going to be the finished version, because that’s what agents and editors are for …

That feeling when your awesome friend launches an equally awesome podcast! I met @SurekaT_D on a @cbcreative course in 2020. She’s been part of my writing journey ever since 💜 1/4

[make it make sense @mimspod]

🚨EPISODE 01 🚨with author ⁦@DamilolaLizzie⁩ where we talk about using sensitivity readers, the editing process with UK and US editors and the realities of second book syndrome! Thank you Lizzie for being my first. ❤️ https://t.co/fHriijVF18

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

Lizzie is a breath of fresh air - she’s generous in sharing her experience, humble about her achievement and shares credit with many people behind the scenes including her agent @Nelle_Andrew. 3/4

[Claire Brown @missbrownwrites]

@mimspod @DamilolaLizzie @Nelle_Andrew I’d love to know when @DamilolaLizzie knew her MS was ‘ready’ to go on submission to agents? And also how much work she did with @Nelle_Andrew to get the MS ready for submission to editors - please and thank you :-)
