An excellent piece about the responsibility writers/artists hold to think deeply about their metaphors, from the very smart @CoreyBrotherson https://t.co/5wcUmlZ2af

I've emailed my MP to express my concerns about the government's fundamentally flawed consultation on AI. Any writers / other creatives living in the UK, here's a simple, tweakable email template that will send to the right person using your postcode: https://t.co/KuXt7GAxpR

Already emotional after an incredible #FutureBook opening keynote from @FleurSinclair. Imagine if bookshops were the spaces from which we rebuilt our sense of community and embedded values of empathy, curiosity and respecting difference… not to mention shared moments of joy ✨

This little book from the folk at @dgquarterly is a bitesize delight. Words submitted by the public for inclusion in Collins dictionary is a favourite so far, as is the timeline of viral food fads. Every entry could be the start of a novel, they’re so telling, and niche. Joyful. https://t.co/EhUMxgW95G

Chair of all chairs ✨🎉📚

The secret is out! I can finally say how thrilled I am to be Chair of the @WomensPrize for Fiction judges and feel honoured to be reading alongside these brilliant women.

Very sad. I grew up in the next village along from Chippy and have had amazing times both speaking at and attending @ChipLitFest (it's also where I met my beloved platonic life partner @KitdeWaal). A big loss - and @penny_author's thread explains why beautifully. 👇🏻

1. I'm devastated that @ChipLitFest is to close. I've been to lots of great events there and hoped to appear myself one day. It's so sad that arts events are struggling to keep afloat, when the creative industries are a huge moneymaker for the economy. @thebookseller @_CFTA
