It took Sarah Waters 18 months of 'dispiriting' rejection before she found an agent and publisher for Tipping the Velvet (and subsequent huge success). Fascinating interview with @sarahrward1 now as part of Winter Haunts. https://t.co/sptzgFmzAF

@HillaryKelly Have you already read Merivel and Restoration by Rose Tremain? If not, they will cure you.

A very clever, intricate and fascinating novel - made me think of The Quincunx by Paliser. https://t.co/UqP6pp1dAe

Love this from The Times obituary of Hilary Mantel. ‘When working on A Place of Greater Safety she would inadvertently date cheques 1790.’ https://t.co/Spf6HGgFv3

Genre-bending, nerve-shredding, blood-chilling brilliance. A snow storm is raging, infection is everywhere, and no one is coming to save you. THE DRIFT by @cjtudor is going to scare the pants off you all in 2023.

The brilliant and brave @PaulBurston in the launch outfit to end all launch outfits. At Heaven tonight he read from his powerful memoir about fighting for survival, acceptance and then against AIDS in the 1980s. We all cried. WE CAN BE HEROES: a Survivor’s Story is out today. https://t.co/1cy8mT6MA0

Bloody hell. Notes on an Execution. Unflinching, disturbing, compassionate, brilliant. The serial killer novel, but told by the women as well. I found it hard to read at times because it was so searingly real, but I’m very glad I pushed through. Thank you @danyakukafka. https://t.co/AGAr20Rj9m

'If a character doesn’t want something, they’re passive. And if they’re passive, they’re effectively dead.' Into the Woods by John Yorke is 99p on Kindle today. It's a scriptwriting book, but essential reading for fiction writers trying to understand story structure.
