Recently completed a crime writing course offered by @newwritingnorth.bsky.social and learned a huge amount, in no small part due to thoughtful feedback and encouragement received from @marnieriches.bsky.social and @mandybyattauthor.bsky.social

I think woman from their twenties up will recognise and identify with at least one of the characters in #SoThrilledForYou by @hollybourne.bsky.social. Set over the course of an intense baby shower during a heatwave, the book rotates through four points of view.

Both author starter packs are now full. I cannot currently imagine any circumstances in which there will be a third. Off to lie down. Maybe with wine. Do follow and share - there are so many lovely authors in these packs.

Why did Shakespeare write in five acts? And how can that help you?

John Yorke explains why act structure underpins all powerful stories – from Macbeth to Succession to the speeches of Ronald Reagan.
