I had a book published by Unbound and after years of odd royalty statements and money siphoned off for I don’t know what, I’ve been warning people not to be published by them. More work for authors, no good outcome. Such a shame.

So proud of my brilliant daughter @lilydunn.bsky.social and have already pre-ordered!

Well worth listening to this - brilliant journalism open.spotify.com/episode/1Si4...

Have you checked out @richbeard.bsky.social new memoir project, The Universal Turing Machine? It's brilliant and an important defence of memoir in the age of AI - I wrote about it here. lilydunn.substack.com/p/the-univer... #lifewriting #memoir #nonfiction

Had a fascinating conversation with @nicwilson.bsky.social about her memoir, Land Beneath the Waves. And here is a clip from it.

The perfect purchase from my local bookshop @gloucesterroadbks.bsky.social on a beautiful summer morning. This is going to be my summer reading. What book have you bought from an independent bookshop this week? #independentbookshopweek

And then the postman came and he rang on the doorbell, and the dog went nuts, and he delivered a parcel, and there were two books inside with my name on them. It’s nice to hold book number 3 in my hands. I feel quite emotional ❤️

Very blessed to have such amazing readers for my forthcoming book on how to write memoir. Thank you so much Amy and Melissa

The art of writing memoir from @lilydunn.bsky.social part craft book -part memoir. It's inspiring, rigorous, and useful.

Children of the Cult, the powerful documentary directed by @maroesja.bsky.social and Alice McShane, has been nominated for a BAFTA! So many years to get this film off the ground - the stories of exceptionally brave women and men who grew up in the #osho Rajneesh communes, sexual abuse and neglect
