@MtG_Sly Thanks.

A new short story of mine at Fairlight Books.

[Fairlight Books @FairlightBooks]

Our new #ShortStory today is 'Light on his Feet for a Big Man' by Toby Wallis, about #nostalgia and #FreshStarts

'Another crowd spilled out of the station. I looked through it, wondering if I would still recognise him after all this time, but he wasn’t hard to spot.'

@anicegreenleaf I love this book. Her novel Voices in the Evening is one of my favourites.

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

Some great writers I have recently discovered: Sarah Manguso, Jenny Offil and Keiran Goddard. Recommended for lovers of literary fiction that is both grounded and experimental at the same time. Wonderful stuff.

Cambridge literary festival is back. Today, Julian Barnes, Sunday, Ali Smith. Very happy.

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

Went into Waterstones today with a £100 national book token and the pure jealousy coming off the bookseller...

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

So this is literally what happened to me.

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

Been out of the writing game for a while, hardly written a word, hardly sent anything out. But I'm getting back on it. Started with a novel entry to @prize_novel. Although I say I haven't written much, I have 70 poems on the notes app of my phone. This is new for me. Not a poet.

@TheYorkJournal A wonderful novel. :)

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

Just tidied up my website a bit, so that the webbots that stop by once a day will have an easier time buying a book.

This is exciting news, new Ali Smith novel following on from her seasonal quartet. https://t.co/1BQQF1g3dG

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

I've been reading The Promise by Damon Galgut, which for about a hundred pages was brilliant but didn't strike a chord with me. Now, almost finished, it has struck that chord I was looking for.

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

@JellyfishReview I think trust is exactly the right word for it. Unknown writers are asking for peoples time, which is a lot to ask for.

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

@OhDannyBoyShhh I agree, one of the best books I have ever read.

[Toby Wallis @tobyshmoby]

@georgeopteryx Merry Christmas George, looking forward to seeing you again in the new year.
