Hey @workingclassrep - I don't suppose you could please share this 🙏
Hello, I have a ticket for @stockportnoir this Saturday that I'd like to donate to someone from a working class, low income household. If you fit the bill, please drop me a DM.
Retweets appreciated as I'd hate to see the ticket wasted!

I’ve read 3 badly written celebrity fiction books recently. 3 books that wouldn’t have got a publishing deal but for the name on the cover.That’s 3 advances that could have gone to real writers who could have done something amazing. 3 books so bad the editor couldn’t save them 🙁

Similar but (slightly) different cover for the paperback of No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy, published on 4 May, 2023 by Canongate. Big thanks to @BenMyers1 and @themarkrad for their kind words. Still wearing that ace jumper.

One of my aims for 2023 is to provide as many opportunities for people as I can.
It's that simple. #HNY

Dialect is an inclusive platform & we've been seriously searching for writers of diverse heritage who live in the south west to work with on a new project - please can you let me know if this is you or if you would recommend any writer friends who might fit the bill? TIA 🙏

📣🧵 Attention writers: This is a call for pitches. We want to commission (paid!) features on housing, immigration, racism, inequality & the environment. Appalling landlords? Bring them. Inner workings of the Home Office? Give em here. Evidence of systemic racism? Write it up...
