@Louiestowell Let us not forget that storytelling is a noble art, but storyshowing… Well, it’s not a thing, is it?

@Louiestowell Nice things I saw this week: The end of a deadline, the beginning of a new story, the live show of #TheRestIsEntertainment, and – this morning – a stunningly bright Jupiter in a clear blue sky.

It’s 0700 in London. The sky’s a deep blue, and there’s a bright dot low in the western sky that I *think* is #Jupiter. It’s so far away, but so clear, and it’s giving me that vertigo feeling of looking out into space. It’s a lot for a Friday morning.

It's always such a treat to be involved – even in a tiny way – with this glorious magazine, and this issue (Chaos & Calm) is a stunner. As always it's filled with the best writers and illustrators; hope you enjoy my review of action-packed new book Wintour's Game by @BrianDungan

Thanks so much, Amy. Some solid gold advice here!
🧵I've been meeting with editors all week and asking most of them two questions. 1) What keeps you reading a submission? 2) As far as craft, what advice do you have for authors? And I'm sharing some of that with you today! #writingcommunity #amquerying

@Louiestowell I'm celebrating the refurbishment of our dining table, where I do most of my writing. And I'm luxuriating in the freedom of a new project. I'm at that exciting stage when nothing's off the table (except now, when the new legs are being added, because everything's off the table).

RT @lucasjmaxwell: Book borrowing this half term is 2,000 % higher compared to the half term my 1st year here. #Librarians are a big part…

@cbcreative @richardroper ‘Don’t touch it.’ Paul’s voice shakes. ‘Looks like a real person.’ ‘Can’t be.’ Sally kicks the body. ‘Nobody’s arrived for years.’ She kneels to check its pockets. ‘Help me roll it over, Paul. Paul?’ But he’s fled, leaving her alone with the body, which opens its eyes. #WriteCBC

A treat to hear Andrew O’Hagan discussing #CaledonianRoad at @BackstoryLdn last night. But the real joy was the wider discussion about London, knitting, Drill, and writing on his shirt. Like his stories, Andrew is full of insight, humour, generosity, and a great love for people.
