Quite partial to an Oxford comma - what’s not to like?
I was taught to always avoid the Oxford comma by Mrs Nelson, my year 4 primary school teacher and a formidable dominatrix.
But seriously, I love the Oxford Comma. So I made a starter pack of other serial comma aficionados. And I'll keep adding to it as I find more members of Team Oxford Comma . . .

Every writer knows writing is rewriting and that process only really ends when the manuscript is wrenched from their exhausted and numb hands.
Booksellers! Are 'proof drops' annoying, or worthwhile? Do you want to meet the authors, or do you subscribe to Margaret Atwood's view that meeting an author because you like their work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pâté?
Apropos of nothing, a casual reminder that “we’re not a vanity press” is exactly the kind of thing a vanity press would say.

I will! We had planned to go to the Kendal Mountain Festival to see friends but family arriving and the weather has kept us at home. Next time… And same - if you’re over our way let me know, I’m always up for meeting more local writers
I live near Appleby. Halfway up a fell!

A resource for you my loves. jerichowriters.com/our-services... If you're trying to work out how on earth you make a list of literary agents for your query, try this. It's free for a week! So this is the British Isles, but also US, Canadia, Australia...dive in. It's comprehensive. #writingcommunity
Love the John Irving, and the Suzy Steiner series is very enjoyable. Our book club did Black Butterflies recently and I liked it very much
We’ve got it in our garden too, and it’s decimating the walnut trees, sadly. One died a couple of years ago and another one will probably be dead by next year judging by how it’s declining 🙁
Looks a bit like honey fungus 🍄
Thanks M. happy to be here
