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:

🧵 Photo shows a hand holding ...Photo shows the acknowledgm... 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.

Hope you find them useful. #thread #amwriting #writer If you're a writer, join @Soc_of_Authors. They're great advocates for writers' rights, & offer PDF guides on working as a writer, specific advice on contracts etc for members & discounts on books! They also offer grants for work in progress & run annual awards.
