A little celebration that I hope doesn’t break any rules… my novel, Perotine, was one of the top ten shortlisted in last year’s competition. It was subsequently picked up by a small publisher, and launches on Tuesday. This weekend, I’ve travelled from Jersey (home) to Gloucester to give two talks and then in the coming weeks I’ve got two appearances at home, plus a trip to the Guernsey Literary festival to discuss the book. In May, I’m also making several appearances in Wales. Exciting and very busy times! 📚 I’ve also dropped my Marlowe and C placement in several times in my promo. 😄 Good luck to everyone, this year!

Be aware there are ‘bots’ opening in this forum.

I meant to ask this a while ago, but did anyone on here get accepted for the Harper Collins Author Academy this year? I got waitlisted/longlisted for it, which I was thrilled by, but just wondered whether anyone else enters this sort of thing, as it would be nice to have company! I've just entered the Write Mentor competition too. 😁

Has anyone else not received their feedback yet, or is it just me?
