Aaaaaaaaah how amazing to see THIRTEEN WAYS TO KILL LULABELLE ROCK by Maud Woolf on the Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlist! Her debut! 🤯

This very much appeals to the pre-teen me so would love to take a look! Please follow the submissions guidelines on the North Lit website and mention that I requested it during #scotwriterpitch2025

Sounds fun! I’d love to see it. Please follow the submissions guidelines on the North Lit’s website, marking it for my attention. And do please mention that I requested during #scotwriterpitch2025

Ooh. Fun concept and title. I’d love to see it! If you could please follow the submissions guidelines on the North Lit website and mark it for my attention - and do mention that I requested for #scotwriterpitch2025 too

Happening tomorrow! 🦋📝

Looking forward to the #scotwriterpitch2025 thingy tomorrow! I'll be keeping an eye on the hashtag and requesting things that sound too up my street to miss!

Editors/scouts: a very specific LBF scheduling thing (tweet?): I've got two Thursday morning slots available which seems excessive.
Toilet breaks? Mais non! Drop me a line if you too have unnecessary comfort breaks on Thursday.

What a display! Happy publication day @johnironmonger.bsky.social and THE WAGER AND THE BEAR.

What brilliant news!

Had a wonderful time taking @johnironmonger.bsky.social around nine, yes NINE, bookshops in Edinburgh earlier in the week.

I don’t know about you but it’s Friday night, I’ve got the heated blanket on, a glass of wine poured, a cat beside me, a good manuscript to read, and I’m feeling pretty happy about things 🙌

As long as it’s not a double bluff!

Here’s hoping!

I am already tempted to agree with you

I am cautiously optimistic.

Thank you! Not me googling “how do you find feeds on Bluesky” 👵🏻

Is this the good place?
