I am looking for some novels to read with working class main characters. Ideally published in the last five years. All suggestions welcome.

I just found a note that I wrote about failing when I was in the depths of despair with my writing career. I thought I'd share it again, with an update, because the book I talk about writing towards the end of it was The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, which has been a big success.

Thrilled that my flash piece 'Top Withens' inspired by a rereading of Wuthering Heights is in @thewildwordmag. It feels a fitting end to the first year of my MA in Creative Writing @Uni_English #writingcommunity #iamwriting #flashfiction thewildword.com/fiction-debo…

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵
1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.

Isn’t it wonderful? So real and brave and incredibly thoughtful @aniacard @NovelistJessica @DeadInkBooks
It’s Pride (not Prejudice) month and I’ve been enjoying @aniacard’s poignant exploration of queer love in Above Us The Sea. Occasionally heartbreaking, always tender and thoughtful, this beautifully written debut is not to be missed. Out July from @DeadInkBooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
