If Carlsberg did writing retreats… just back from the most amazing four days of writing, learning, laughing and making new writery friends, absolutely determined to crack on with the new book. Thank you @saranaidinecox @prize_novel #writing #magical #IYKYK

Incredibly honoured, and very excited, to be part of the annual festival of Her Majesty Queen Camilla's charity The Queen's Reading Room, which is at Chatsworth House in September.
The Queen's Reading Room charity aims to 'discover and celebrate the unique power of books to improve brain health, mental health and social connection'. As you know, these are all topics very close to my heart and it's a huge privilege for me to be invited to play a small part in this wonderful event.
Tickets are on sale today from 10am, and I really hope to see you there!

Jack Draper’s reaction after beating Musetti to reach the Madrid final.
At first, he looks in disbelief.
Then lets out a big smile. 🥹
He is playing like one of the very best players alive.
Massive roar.
Massive emotions.
Massive tennis.

Frankfurt is a weird time for writers; it can feel like everyone is getting 6 figure deals (they’re not!). To do something for those who aren’t yet at that stage, I’m offering a free critique of your first 10k words & synopsis (fiction only) - to enter RT by midnight Sat! 📚✍️

The manuscript is on my kindle! One more read-through and it’s off to my agent.
So strange to make actual progress after a revision, rather than just more querying. Good strange. Freaky strange.
