I've just finished reading @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social's 'Love lay down beside me and we wept' - an important mental-health #memoir. Here's my 5-star review: valeriavescina.com/2025/08/26/r... #newbooks #newbook #bookreview

I’m looking forward to this conversation with @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social and @womenwritersnet.bsky.social

This is a fantastic thing to do. A great reading resource for anyone interested in #womenintranslation #WITMonth #WomenWritersNet

From 1 September, this will be our main home online. We’re migrating from Twitter/X and moving here to Bluesky. It’s exciting, and we look forward to many engaging conversations - including Bluesky chats! Thanks for finding us! #WritingCommunity

Today, July 1 2025, is #publicationday for #lovelaydown in US and Canada. It's a few months later than originally planned but I am so thankful that it has finally happened. #mentalhealthmemoir #mentalhealthawareness #memoir #creativenonfiction #narrativenonfiction #newwriting

For anyone struggling with their mental health, help is available. Please reach out to organisations that offer support. In UK, the Samaritans phone line is 116 123 or online chat at www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-h...

Just had a peek at Marc's website. Well worth checking out for anyone in search of inspiration for a cover design. mecob.co.uk

Q2 Can you give us a brief glimpse of love lay down without giving away too much? #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview #lovelaydown @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social

Welcome to the first of our brand new Bluesky interviews. Our guest today is Helen Murray Taylor, author of the recently-published memoir love lay down beside me and we wept. #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social #lovelaydown

I'm warming up my typing fingers. I think this will be as fast an hour as our #WomenWritersNet twitter chats.

Today is #BookQuoteWednesday and the word of the day is CLIMB. Presenting Two Similar Looking Men With Umbilical Hernias by @zenabarrie.bsky.social. Illustration by Claire Robinson. #BookQW

Ukrainian novelist and war crimes investigator Victoria Amelina has posthumously won the Orwell Prize for Political Writing for her book Looking at Women, Looking at War (HarperCollins), dubbed “a powerful examination of women’s courage in resistance” 👇

A strong first line, and strong writing throughout. I've just read this novel by @brethertonwords.bsky.social and can highly recommend it! #FirstLineFriday #newbooks #Books #BooksWorthReading #amreading

Perfect accompaniments for a journey on the Caledonian sleeper to Edinburgh. Looking forward to your Bluesky launch @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social hosted by @womenwritersnet.bsky.social on Thursday 26 June at 6pm.

…and my copy of @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social’s Love Lay Down is now with me here in Switzerland! Looking forward to Helen’s interview on the @womenwritersnet.bsky.social channel! When? 26/6/2025 at 6 pm BST! #newbooks #memoir

I'm really looking forward to this. If it works well it is something @womenwritersnet.bsky.social will offer to other writers #AuthorInterview #lovelaydown

We'll be launching our #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview on Thurs, 26 June at 6pm BST. Our first interviewee is author @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social, and we'll be chatting with her about her recently published #Memoir, #lovelaydown. Do join us!

Save the date: 26 June, 6 pm BST / 7 pm CEST. In the first of @womenwritersnet.bsky.social's new features on Bluesky, we'll be chatting with @drhelenmtaylor.bsky.social about her newly published #memoir, "Love Lay Down Beside Me And We Wept" (unbound.com/collections/...).

We're trying something new with our @womenwritersnet.bsky.social and I'm the guinea pig! Our first #WomenWritersNet Bluesky author interview will be with me on Thursday 26 June 6pm BST. If it works well, it is something we'll be opening up to others #authorinterview #booklaunch #lovelaydown

Thank you @tre.radio and especially to Selina for being such a generous and empathic interviewer for my radio debut yesterday. The interview is available to listen to for the next seven days.

Oops, got the time wrong. It should be 1.20 pm BST. At least I realised now and not at 1.30 tomorrow!

Very excited to be making my #radiodebut with Talk Radio Europe on Thursday 5 June at 1.30 pm. I'll be chatting with Selina Mackenzie about my #mentalhealthmemoir love lay down beside me and we wept. #lovelaydown #radiointerview #TalkRadioEurope

Anyone who has written about physical pain (me) knows how hard it is to capture. Maggie Nelson does it brilliantly in Pathemata: Or, The Story of My Mouth, which is never singular, and takes in love, mortality, parenting, the pandemic. My @theguardian.com review: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Me and my uterus part 1: it’s trying to kill me! Too many women suffer in silence – it’s time we talked openly about the pain, stigma, and dismissal of women’s reproductive health | Gemma Gould 1/ 🧵 @gemmagould.bsky.social @centralbylines.co.uk

"I didn't like winning the Booker at all. Success can be a lot more challenging than failure. I was used to failure, like most writers are. I did failure beautifully, believe me. I didn’t do success quite so well." I spoke to Pat Barker about her @thebookerprizes.bsky.social-winning The Ghost Road:

Sooo happy to see a copy of #lovelaydown in real life. It was a long time coming. Thank you @unboundsocials.bsky.social and all the 400 folk who supported the book. Amazing. The cover is beautiful, especially the spine. #mentalhealthmemoir #newwriting #memoir #publication

Just over a week to go before my SOLD OUT event at @goldenharebooks.bsky.social with @annehamilton.bsky.social. Can't wait. My author copies of #lovelaydown have got lost in the post so it will be the first time that I see a physical copy of my memoir. Will try not to cry 😁
