A rather nice surprise when you wake up to find one of your poems highly commended in the National Poetry Competition!
A nice surprise for the weekend: When The Sky Falls is in this week’s issue of @TheTLS
Incredibly grateful to the brilliant Helen Gordon, author of The Meteorites, for this lovely little review.

London! November 12th! I will be at Waterstones Tottenham Court Road in conversation with the completely brilliant Stephen Ellcock who’s curated imagery was a huge influence on WTSF

Updated event dates. If you’re vaguely curious about how meteorites and comets might pertain to clean energy, the creation of belief systems, cures for acne, the best PR stunts in history, dynastic abdications and the beleaguered house of Wessex — this may be for you.
Devon and Cornwall! I’m going to be launching WTSF by candlelight in conversation with Spencer Thorn at the gorgeous Temple in Bude Weds 30th. Tickets include a cocktail, nibbles, and discount on the book. Hope to see you there!

Great day going round some of my favourite London bookshops yesterday with team @BatsfordBooks. Made up to see WTSF on a table at @Dauntbooks — a few signed copies there, and sitting pretty at @StanfordsTravel
If you’re thinking of pre-ordering When The Sky Falls you are very chic and Waterstones are offering a bit of a bath with 25% off until Friday!

Delighted to have an ‘Object Lesson’ in @theworldofinteriors with a meditation on ‘the shooting stars’ of Vita Sackville-West’s Sissinghurst garden, her irises. Many of them return for a second bloom in September, which just happens to be when ‘When The Sky Falls’ is published…

This is huge.
- Publishers running your submitted books through AI systems adds your books to the AI training data without your consent.
- Your book of 300-500 pages is being reduced to an AI summary and not "read" by editors.
- An AI summary will be what your book is accepted or rejected on.
- If the publisher tests your book to see if it was written with AI, it will get a false positive as the AI will recognise the book from it's training data, due to this process.
This has to stop and publishers must be forced by agents and writers unions to sign agreements for every book, prior to 'reading' stating that they will not put submitted books through AI systems without written consent.
Curtis Brown (@CWAgencyUK) has voiced concern about editors using ChatGPT to assess confidential manuscripts, as more literary agencies introduce clauses around Artificial Intelligence into contracts 👇
Set down your pens, wipe away your tears, get thee to the streams: the day we have been waiting for arriveth, mightily…..

That would be fabulous. Thank you. Will DM.
Objects in the sky have appeared in a lot of my work.
Meteor featured in @magmapoetry, inspired by something I saw while driving in Japan.
Truly rather heartbroken I can’t make it tonight for this masterpiece with the legendary, whip-smart Stu Hennigan and @judecook_ . If you’re free and in town: go! You will not be disappointed, I promise.

Night is the vault of moths, moons and meteors, and I’ve been spending a lot of time there recently putting together a new book with @BatsfordBooks, exploring how shooting stars have shaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. Preorders:
