Had a great time in sunny Bournemouth for @bmthwritingfest.bsky.social yesterday - attended some wonderful panels & workshops, and my session seemed to go down pretty well too! It's such a brilliant event - get it in your calendars for next year!
Resources for yesterday's session at @bmthwritingfest.bsky.social Very thankful to all the participants, who really got stuck into the exercises and are hopefully feeling super positive about their writing life! Grateful to the festival for having me back this year - always a joy.
