Duw duw! I'm so pleased, and proud that this came from an open vote - so thanks to all the readers and advocates and allies who have lifted me up in the last year. Genuinely blindsided by this, and humbled. Thanks @hayfestival.bsky.social x www.hayfestival.com/news/blog.as...

Very pleased with these words from #PandoraSykes pandorasykes.substack.com/p/three-nove...

Come to @hayfestival.bsky.social 01/06/25, 2.30pm - I'll be chatting to #CynanJones about #ARoomAboveaShop @grantabooks.bsky.social and #Feathertongue @bbcsounds.bsky.social. We're event 404, like an error message. Afterwards I'll be in the bookshop to scribble on your purchases..!

This was a lovely chat at the end of a workday, thanks @herring1967.bsky.social for insights and enthusiasm. shows.acast.com/rhlstp/episo...

Well, here's a thing! I am very grateful @judecook.bsky.social - diolch yn fawr, thank you!

Phew! It's in the world. Yesterdays social media was like being pressure-hosed all day (not complaining) but today feels good. Hope those that buy it enjoy it. 💚

Yeh yeh, here's my big face again - but also, a link to a touching and careful preview of #ARoomAboveAShop from John Self. Worth a share, it made me well up. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

This launches tonight - Folding Rock 001: Roots | 6 March 2025. Llongyfarchiadau all @foldingrockmag.bsky.social ! My piece #SometimesWeSpeak is a dad/son two hander. It's packed with good writing, elegantly typeset, edited with care. I'm in in very good hands. Go buy one!

So, I made it onto this - still in shock, but made up! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

I'm still bewildered / delighted when I hear how far those pencil scribbles in a notebook have travelled! Thanks @heyteachertom.bsky.social x

Thanks @lrbbookshop.bsky.social (and Gayle!)

Proud to be on #bbcradio4 #ShortWorks series – #Feathertongue will be broadcast 24.01.25 then available #bbcsounds after that. . . #glöynbyw #cookedapples #LivingEmber #baitandswitchbullying

Thought I’d drop this here. Posted @withregram • @parthian_books - A Dictionary of Light is here! The Rhys Davies Short Story Award Anthology brings together twelve bold, tender, brilliant stories. Join us next Wednesday 27/11, 6pm at @swanseastones for the launch of this wonderful collection.

We're here! Folding Rock has officially landed in Bluesky... Now where are our people? Writers, readers, publishers... give us a wave! 👋

I'll be at this, and very proud to be in this group of writers. Just turn up if you fancy it, free, we won't even *make* you buy it - whattayagottaloseeh? www.waterstones.com/events/book-...

It's been some time since I woke up with a club-stamp AND full recollection - 1 week ago today I was very happy to be interviewed by the amazing @sanagoyalkotecha.bsky.social - part of #grantabooks & @serpents-tail.bsky.social debut showcase (publication 13/03/25). I look verrry serious here...
