White Ghosts comes out tomorrow!

It’s so easy to think of writing as a solitary process - but it’s taken 7 years & all kinds of support to reach this point. So I want to take a moment to thank all those people & organisations who helped make this book possible:

🧵

@CommaJane

First up, never underestimate the importance of a good editor - and @CommaJane at @NineArchesPress is wonderful! And the same goes for @agent_luck at @CWAgencyUK. It's so important to have that kind of core team supporting your book.

@ace_national

In 2018, I received a DYCP grant to travel to the US to research the collection - so an especially big thank you to @ace_national @ace_thenorth, to the wonderful staff at @nypl, and to Cane Ridge Meeting House, who were all invaluable in the research process.
