Good luck PB. You’ve done the hard part (getting yourself Out There), now comes the harder part (waiting).
On that Juliet/Jessie B cover letter, I felt very conflicted reading it, because while the letter was great and it obviously worked for her/them, there was definitely a level of familiarity and bravado (not sure if that’s the right term, but…[Read more]

There are quite a few people with WritersDen handles. Nothing with Den of Writers and no hashtag for it. Yet!

Thought provoking and intriguing as usual Elle. I very much enjoyed, but I’m with Philippa that, for me, there were perhaps too many vignettes. I thought at one point that you were moving us forward through time up until the telephone conversation, and then reversing us after that, because some of the names repeated, but then I realised it was…[Read more]

Should we have a hashtag so we can all find and share tweets and guide people here?

Hope you are able to get it up and running at a new venue Athelstone. Took me ages to figure out where my room could be! I reckon all of us must have a few e-mail contacts with other Cloudies, that when pulled together would cover the majority of those that signed up for the challenge. Perhaps messages could be passed on. Good luck with getting it…[Read more]

It’s not looking good :-/

Thanks all! I’m excited about this one. It has the big battles and moral quandries.

In case anyone missed the first book, here’s the Amazon page for the duology https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FMC8FPB?ref=series_rw_dp_labf

Whoop Whoop. Book 2!!

I was already signed up to shortstops but I’m quite happy for people to post things that they see here too, even if they are duplicated elsewhere – I often miss things in the email list and it helps to have reinforcement

Thanks for this Raine. I’d seen notifications about the Kickstarter but completely missed that they were doing an open call as well

Ha! Point taken. I will assume nothing and you can all shout at me if I say something you definitely do know about.

You do all know about ShortStops, run by the wonderful Tania Hershman, don’t you? https://shortstops.info/ The regular emails she sends out list all the events and comps in one place.

Thanks Raine 🙂
