Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.
Congratulations to all on the #TheBranfordBoaseAward #LL. Delighted to see the lovely @zeenagos.bsky.social on there with her novel This Dark Heart, and the fabulous @sharadakeats.bsky.social with These Stolen Lives. Good luck to all!
This Dark Heart was nominated for the Branford Boase award! Baby’s first nomination! I’m so excited.

Finally got a picture on the moon at Waterstones Piccadilly, and signed the last book they had in stock because they’d pretty much sold out.
Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/
