Such a wonderful audience for my Cranleigh Library talk - biggest thanks to interviewer David and everyone who came along #shortstories @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social #TheTruthHasArmsAndLegs #writingcommunity
I planned the order of my collection while on a train journey - that was very freeing, away from my desk with a feeling of onward momentum! Maybe a chance of scene might help you get an overview? 😊
Age of protagonist is another interesting one to consider - a tip from @isabellekenyon.bsky.social! Sweeping from young to old across the book...nothing hard and fast, but can be useful to bear in mind when you're deciding between stories 😊
@CranleighLibrary is the only #library I know where the #creativewriting section is the first thing you see when you walk in... Just one of the reasons I'm excited to be giving a talk there this evening! #WritingCommunity #authortalk #shortstories @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social ✍️📚
This week! Booking link in bio 📚✍️ #authortalk #shortstories #library #cranleigh #surrey
NEW EVENT! Acclaimed novelist Sheena Kalayil will be in conversation at @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social to celebrate the launch of her novel THE OTHERS, where a love triangle plays out against the backdrop of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
