Publishing as an industry is unsustainable if authors can't make a living wage from writing. Also the best way to make an income as a writer shouldn't be 'by being a white bloke.' https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/dec/06/writers-earnings-have-plummeted-with-women-black-and-mixed-race-authors-worst-hit
Writers’ earnings have plummeted – with women, Black and mixed race authors worst hit

Research shows that the income of professional authors averages only £7,000 in the UK, making the profession ‘inaccessible and unsustainable’ to most

Hello! I'm looking for more alternate history projects (film, tv, novels, plays, games, etc). Examples: Inglorious Basterds, Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood, The Man in the High Castle...

Note: not an alternate version of a fictional world, but actual world events.

I'm particularly interested in counterfactual stories that are emancipatory (so open up possibilities in a freeing way...).

Thank you!

Excited that tomorrow I will be returning to the #manuscript of my fourth (4th!!) #novel, to add in a bunch of #epistolary sections.
These will be snapshot texts and emails between two of my characters (neither of which have their own direct POV in the story).
It will be fun elaborating their relationship in this way… and using these text exchanges to sow more #clues for the #reader!
Onwards!

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊

Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.

These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.

Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.

I just received an ARC of my next novel Descendant Machine, and it looks great. I think you're really going to enjoy this one. It comes out in April but it's available now for pre-order from all good booksellers.

Hey #trans folks & #TransAllies! 🏳️‍⚧️

You may have seen recent statements (eg #RishiSunak) / petitions seeking to define “sex” in the #EqualityAct as “biological sex”.

This counter #petition 👇 is a bit clumsily worded, but it’d be good to get above 10k sigs so the Government has to coordinate its response to *both* petitions & clarify where they stand.

Petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/627984

Do sign & share if you’re willing.

Petition: Commit to not amending the Equality Act's definition of sex

It has been reported that the Government may amend the Equality Act to "make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender." The Government has previously committed to not remove legal protections for trans people, an already marginalised group, but this change would do so.
