It was wonderful to be at The Anglesey Writing festival today leading a workshop on writing historical flash fiction. Lovely to see so many familiar faces and meet new writers. So much talent! 💜

Absolutely thrilled to be teaching and selling my novels at The #Angelsey #Writing Festival with fellow writers @ri_collins and @EmmaMVenables. At lunch I will be reading from my WIP and after, I'm teaching the uncanny! Confession: I've bought as many books as I've sold! 😂
I'll be leading a workshop on Writing Historical Flash Fiction at this year's Anglesey Writing Festival (on Saturday 21st September). Tickets still available: eventbrite.com/e/gwyl-ysgrif…..
Seems like we’re all leaving? You can find me on Threads: emmamvenables! Would love to reconnect with my Twitter writer pals over there. #WritingCommmunity

I’ve just had my first full-manuscript rejection for my second novel and naturally I’m ignoring the positives and telling myself I’m a terrible writer. The writing life 🤪
