Anyone have experience of Faber Academy writing courses?

Specifically the novel writing one?

Thank you!

Ok can someone please just come to my house and tidy it, sort me some lunch, make tea for the electricians and make sure everyone leaves me alone to write please?

Is that too much to ask? Really?!

I think that having a child choose one of your characters for @WorldBookDayUK is a HUGE author goal!

And this year I was spoilt rotten!

Just LOOK at all these gorgeous Flamingos, Dodos and a Sammy! 🥰🥰🥰

Feeling like a very lucky author!

There really is nothing like World Book Day and a school full of lovely kids to get the writing juices flowing!
And just look how brilliant the teachers were!

Back to writing picture books for the first time in a while - and it always surprises me how happy it makes me.

Thanks to @catherineemmett.bsky.social for this lovely feedback on our 2024 Bury Lit Fest - it's buoying us up on this grey Monday morning!

"I really enjoyed being part of Bury St Edmund's Literature Festival! It was very friendly, well organised and also well attended. I had a great day!"

Playing around with Lino printing. Lots of fun and a great way to pass a rainy ‘no-rugby’ Sunday!

For me it’s when you get halfway through and it decides you haven’t got enough memory 😬

I stayed as I think it’s a great source of news. But the grooming thing is too dark and I see only ‘professional’ type posts now. Not people I know.

Nice to be here and see stuff about books again. My eyes need a rest from the bin fire that is Twitter 😬
