Poetry, plays, producing.

We are ecstatic, of course. Prickle made us sit up right away when it came. Publishers dream of moments like that, and our editors @rustyniall.bsky.social, @jacobslr.bsky.social and @niiayikwei.bsky.social LOVE to work in the energy such moments bring. Congratulations @rachelcleverly.bsky.social

“I think most writers live half lives. You’re half in your life and half in your head, going on with what you’ve been writing; the sort of divided page of every day” — Anne Carson

Watching the bit of Shrek where they play hallelujah and my brother comes in and says ‘classic Christmas: depression and ogres’ and my boyfriend replies ‘ok that’s enough about Rachel’ 😑😑😑

An unhinged post to start this account but in the summer when I would leave early I’d always see this incredibly chic woman and 6 months later I am on the early train and !!! A floor length fur coat and leather boots !!!
