What is a working-class novel? A question that is both tricky and straightforward to answer... link in first comment ⬇️

My #workingclass novel The White Feather continues on S*bstack... and my novel notes this week are about research for historical fiction. I keep it to the minimum! Important not to allow fact to take over from fiction...

The White Feather, my novel about 22 working-class characters (and 4 middle-class!) continues on S*ubstack. This is #ownvoices fiction from my heart and soul.

Please find my novel here: louisewalterswriter.substack…
It's the first in a planned series spanning the 60s to the 90s. It has a big cast, mainly working-class. My aim is to be genuine, representative, and realistic. #ownvoices

Not long until my debut short story collection, Untethered, is released - I never dreamt a council-house-kid like me would ever receive praise from such literary royalty! #BookTwitter #workingclasswriter #shortstories Thank you @maggiegeewriter

Lush morning at #EdgeFestival #Solva - what a festival location. Moved to tears, but also full of fight after the spectacular @gemhow performed & talked about her book #TheCrazyTruth. This book is heading to our #WelshShelf next to equally epic @RachelTrezise! #WorkingClassWriter

Never underestimate the wonderful feeling an author gets when they receive such a fantastic review. It's what keeps us going at times 😁
If you love dark comedy then why not check out my novels, Baxter's Boys & When Your Number's Up!

As an Indie author you need all the help you can get. Westlife's, Nicky Byrne has been very supportive of my work. He's a genuinely nice chap who's remained grounded despite his fame. Fair play ☘️

Great to see my second novel on it's travels to Thailand, although I wouldn't mind being on holidays too! A fantastic holiday read so I'm told 😁

Doing a bit of research for a new book I'm working on and took a ramble over to Dublin Castle where the Garda Museum is situated. Although the museum is small, there's some very interesting stuff & it's free to visit.

Here are my stories. I did other things while I was writing them. Teaching asst., bad barista, youth worker, shop asst., organiser of elves, writing mentor, workshop leader, Children's Laureate Wales. It has been hard work & fun work & everything in between.

Love getting fantastic 5 star reviews like this and really appreciate people taking the time to leave them. And it's brilliant when lads who don't tend to read a lot enjoy your novels ☘️

Number #3 on Amazon bestsellers list. Not bad for a kid from the flats 😁 Dublin's inner-city was like a war zone in the 70's & 80's. Work was scarce while heroin was plentiful but the people stood together and their brilliant stories inspired me to write ☘️
