Can't do live stuff? Prefer to work through things at your own pace? Why not get the recordings from my recent "Unique Selling Points" workshop and "Beyond These Shores" discussion: www.mattkendrick.co.uk/workshop-rec... (3/4)

Laura DeHart Young’s “Don’t call it dinner” is a love letter to small goodbyes, bad weather, and even worse coping snacks. Terribly beautiful touches of life - read them now. ( @lauradehartyoung.bsky.social )

Delighted to have a piece of light painting in here. Looking forward to savouring all the delicious work.

Our first issue - REJECTS - just dropped! This is for the ones who keep writing anyway. Who make things even when they get told it’s “too much.” Thank you to every beautiful soul who brought this to life. We’re just getting started.

Inanimate objects provide me with daily reminders of the absolute necessity of four-letter expletives. #writingtips

Making a detailed who knows what when chart - suddenly I have all these potential secrets slipping into my head. Who knew? #writingtips

I just signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Hey flash-curious folks! I'm running a workshop over @writershq.bsky.social for beginners! If you love the idea of writing flash fiction but you're not sure where to start, this is the class for you! Come and join me for all the flashy fundamentals. Deets here 👇 writershq.co.uk/whq-event/in...

I'll be hosting the next @writershq.bsky.social Flash Face Off event on April 25th! Come and join us - Write 500 words from the prompts, post in our forums for fabulous feedback and I may pick you to read at the live event! It's all FREE flashy fun! Deets are here 👇 writershq.co.uk/flash-face-o...

Delighted to have a piece of art in here. Really looking forward to enjoying all the wonderful work.

Our NHS is not for sale. With Trump ramping up his trade wars trade talks must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/april_bsky

Private companies are polluting our rivers, hiking up bills, and failing to deliver. 82% of us want public ownership – let’s make it happen! Sign the open letter now & demand action! 👉 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pu...

AI is theft. Work used to train LLMs should be on a creator opt-in basis only, and writers and artists should be fairly compensated for any work used. Fuck Meta. #dothewritething #ai #meta #stopthief #MetaBookThieves #DoTheWriteThing #MakeItFair

Today is a day of protest. I'm standing with the @societyofauthors.bsky.social against Meta taking our work without our consent to train AI. We're also calling on our government and Lisa Nandy to #dothewritething and protect our creative arts and not weaken copyright laws in favour of big tech.

Here’s the petition. Please sign (UK postcode). If you enjoy reading or watching great TV based on books then this affects you. Authors need paying to survive. It’s no more OK to steal from authors than it is to steal from a shop.

Looking fantastic - very excited to see this out in the world.

These are our dates for Write Along with Trash Cat in April. Sign up for generative writing to prompts. It's free and kinda fun 🦝 trashcatlit.com/write-along-...
