Writer of many things. YA: The Other Girl, is coming from Penguin in May 2025. Sci fi in the US as Evie Green Backpack, The Sleeper and various others, back in the day (and working on more) Screenwriting is incoming...
I am not very good at Bluesky yet and don't know if anyone will see this but.... The Other Girl is out in May, which I can now say is 3 months away 🙌 I'm excited about this one: if you like train-based identity switch thrillers this might be for you... (and if you do see this hello and thank you)
Cornwall based people - is anyone else going to this next week? Now that I've submitted a manuscript I've signed up, and am excited. It looks both brilliant and totally relevant to something I'm writing 😊 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/imaginatio...

I’m off to Scotland tomorrow, battling the weather to spend the week at Moniack Mhor. Have left the family with home made bread so they might not miss me that much…
I'm delighted to be teaching this course in January: www.johnyorkestory.com/course/story... I started my screenwriting adventures with a JYS course - applying the screenwriting lessons to novel writing is eye opening and fun. Bursaries available #amwriting #writingcourse @profwriting.bsky.social

Spectacular to see this on the big screen last night, complete with overture, intermission and playout music as Kubrik intended. I'm inspired with my writing today - thank you @patkelman.bsky.social
I've been awake since five, am currently meant to be working on my third writing project of the day, and yet seem to be here wondering how you get started and feeling like an awkward new girl. Bookish, and other lovely people - hello.
