Delighted @HonestAuthors podcast is back. Holly Seddon and Gillian McAllister and their fantastic guests kept me company through writing my debut novel. I learnt so much about writing and publishing due to their generous sharing of their own writing experiences. Highly recommend!

Still listening to the @HonestAuthors podcasts about writing process and have now discovered that @claremackint0sh ALSO writes her first draft then throws it away. Just thinking about this makes me feel SICK. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

This is a really interesting episode, featuring agents and what they look for in the authors they take on. With @AgentSophieL (my agent), @felicityblunt and @lucycmorris.
Here is Episode 6! We interview our own agents! What have you always wanted to ask an agent but were too afraid to? Well, look no further...! (This is part 1 of 2 - part 2 is a round table with a handful of other agents - lucky you!) spreaker.com/user/9510028/ha…

Last night I dreamt I was having a good old natter with @GillianMAuthor and @hollyseddon. I thought this is SO nice - we’ve become friends! Then I woke up with my earphones still in and the @HonestAuthors podcast still playing. I’d been listening to them all night! 🤣🤣😊

Listening to old eps of the @HonestAuthors podcast, recorded when @GillianMAuthor & @hollyseddon were working on (& worrying about 🙂) their early books makes me feel a bit like a time traveler with info from the future. (The info being that those books will absolutely smash it)

Couldn't love this more. Happy birthday for tomorrow, @mredwards, and may that pile be twice as big in another decade's time. Unpublished writers: if you want a rollercoaster ride of a publication journey, listen to Mark's interview on the @HonestAuthors podcast.
Today is the last day of my forties. A decade ago I was an unpublished writer who had pretty much given up. Now look at this lot! A huge thank you to everyone who’s helped make it happen. My message is, of course, never give up.
