Stumbled onto the National Centre for Writing resources for early career writers today. Seems like a useful collection of videos and blog posts for those looking for a bit of manuscript advice.
Our articles, podcasts and videos are delivered by established writers such as Jenny Offill, Geoff Dyer, Eimear McBride, Sarah Perry, Okechukwu Nzelu, Michel Faber and more.

Happy birthday!

I went to a concert tonight where the artists played a variety of instruments, including a xylophone and harp entirely made from ice, and they were great, yet I am furious the group were not called Coldplay. #Bristol#Music#IceQuartet
Proud parent. Author and final draft of manuscript doing well at 92,000 words. It’s only taken four years, one master’s degree, and two laptops. Now just need to find an agent with a penchant for science fiction and semicolons, and get it published. #WritingCommunity#WritersofBlueSky
Ada was made by her father from the Ground. But perhaps he didn't get her quite right. They spend their days healing the local human folk - the Cures - who visit them guardedly with their ailments. #NowReading#folk#horror
