This year, Bath Children's Literature Festival programmed just seven writers of colour out of a line up of nearly 100 authors, and then responded to critics by asking them to remove their social media posts. @ihussainwriter.bsky.social explains what happened writershq.co.uk/writers-of-c...
Commissioning workshops for the Writing as Resistance Festival today. We had well over 50 pitches and all of them are brilliant so if anyone has a spare like £10,000 we can run all of them and have an amazing time.
We are dedicating the second half of this year to GETTING THIS SHIT DONE. We are showing up, week in week out. We are dedicated, we are joyful, and we are writing our arses off.

New toy in the dashboard, writer-folk!
Almond Kellacher@almondkellacher.bsky.social · 3w agoOh my word, @writershq.bsky.social I absolutely adore you! I’ve been down a rabbit hole of planner searching for 2 days; notebooks, apps & even cried over excel. All I wanted to do was track finishing this draft as I hurtle towards a deadline. Voila #WritersHQ already had the answer. #amwriting
An urgent reminder before the summer holidays start - your writing is important and carving out time and space for your creative practice is neither frivolous or selfish. It is important. YOU are important. 😱
You get £10 million pounds on the condition that you never procrastinate again. If you fail and start fucking about before you start writing, you dissolve into a puddle of goo. Are you taking it?
Manifesting a beautiful, equitable, abundant utopia where you are safe to be exactly who you are and no one steals your books and you can write and create with wild abandon and all the billionaires are shot into the sun.
Omgggg the acknowledgement page in @emmadancetrain.bsky.social's debut novel is TOO MUCH 🥹😍😭 (Emma's novel A Girl's Girl is out now at all the places you buy books)
Workshop call for creative writing tutors. What does home mean in a world where the security of the ground under our feet is increasingly insecure - through genocide, war and climate change - and how do we, as writers, tackle this? Full details here: writershq.co.uk/work-with-us/

Clean your mental oven with Writers' HQ 😅
@mediumgaz.bsky.social · last mo.Writing is like cleaning the oven. It's not a chore I volunteer for. That's why there being a place to do writing is great (to write sentences like that). I've done two writing retreats in Walthamstow with @writershq.bsky.social and found productivity I could only dream of. My mental oven is clean.
We risked our lives to fly this flag for you, so please pay attention to it. Thank you.
Used the phrase 'cozzie livs' in today's newsletter. Eagerly awaiting the furious unsubscribes. Place your bet for the reasons given: ✅ "You're not a real writer" ✅ "Slang is bad writing" ✅ "You're a wet leftist"
Gang! Your writing is important! You are important! We know this is shocking news but we also know you can handle it. Write the thing you always wanted to write. Bum in chair. Words on page. Heart on sleeve. All July retreats now just £30 with code RetreatTreat. writershq.co.uk/creative-wri...
We've made it to the end of June AND the end of the Write A Novel Festival. Here's a big ol' pat on the back for you, you wonderful writer-human. Pick your gold star and tell us how you did.
Happy fucking Monday, gang. Dare we ask how it's going at the wordface?
Time to shift from pathological butt-sitter to perpetual word-monger. (By taking this awesome free course. Look! We're doing marketing!) writershq.co.uk/the-writers-...
The WHQ bookcase is really trolling us this morning 😭🥵 (PS the 1994 IPPC report said in excruciatingly accurate detail that this would happen. The worst Told You So in history)
