This week on With Bite we spoke with the effervescent @aliceslater.bsky.social about her writing career! Alice told us about her beginnings in writing, what feeds her and what doesn't (the dreaded networking), navigating book deals and most importantly, making a living as a writer!

Thank you so much queen! 🖤

I read #deathofabookseller by @aliceslater.bsky.social quite a while ago, but I loved it so much, I thought it deserved another look. Here are my favourite quotes and mini book review. @hodderfiction.bsky.social

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

On this day thirty years ago, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds released "Henry Lee", the second single from their ninth album "Murder Ballads" - a smouldering duet between PJ Harvey and Nick Cave

This is the shit I live for

I studied in Berlin in the late 90s. One Sunday afternoon on Alexanderplatz, I encountered what can only be called a super goth—head to toe black leather, corpse makeup, thigh-high boots, *batwings*—sharing an ice cream cone with his normie girlfriend.

I think it’s got legs!

My brain’s so fried, I just called a haircut “getting the trims”

I'd like to share with you this perfect moss ball 🌿✨

This is crushing. Hugs to all my queer friends. Hugs and more hugs.

Yes, impeccable ❤️‍🔥

This was the goat btw, in case you’re imagining a black Philip “wouldst thou like to live deliciously” situation, which is of course inherently goth.

I love to see goths in the wild. Incongruous goths. Goths on the bus at 3pm. Goths in B&Q. Goths in big Tesco. I was at a farm the other day petting a goat, and a goth appeared next to me to admire the same goat. Fantastic.

ah i can answer this trick question actually. novels are not a race

Oh no
