I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

📢 BIG PROJECT CLAXON! 📢 VF is looking for a big space for the whole of Aug and into Sep 2025 in Edinburgh - as central as possible. A warehouse space would be perfect: 19m x 14m, and a height clearance of 5m. Anyone got one of those lying around? 📨laura@visiblefictions.co.uk

Delighted to have once again been able to programme @WigtownBookFest’s @ReadMagicFest event. It’s been a total joy to see this festival develop over the past few years. Thanks to @woollensocks and @HarrietDunlea for putting together such a fun event.
Can't recommend Reading is Magic enough for teachers, parents and anyone with an interest in children's literature. Online events with an incredible line-up of authors and storytellers - and all for free. readingismagicfestival.com/e…
