Enormous thanks to Sam Grinsell for the very first official review of my latest hybrid book, It’s Time: A Chronomemoir! I was so moved by what Sam said: “This is a beautiful book, I found reading it quite a quite a profound experience… I would love more people to read this book. I think it’s an important work.” You can see the whole of Sam’s post here:

And if you like being read to, I’m reading my new book in audio instalments over on Substack here, or you can listen through Spotify, if you’d prefer – just search for “chronomemoir” under podcasts, or go here: https://open.spotify.com/show/4tc0XUVX19I2sloEzk9sT0?si=d845238385414aa8

There are the last few places left on my very first Unbox Your Words Zoom course, which kicks off in June! The course theme will be “unboxing your words”, and we will explore different word-shapes and configurations, trying out some swerving, shapeshifting, transformation and hybrid writing to help you write what you want in the way you want to write it. More intimate than my usual workshops, the group will be a maximum of ten people, to open up space for discussion and sharing and, I hope, the creation of a community of writers who can keep giving each other permission once the formal course has finished!

The next Zoom workshop I am running is on May 18th for Mslexia’s Salon, a version of my When Physics and Fairy Tales Collide workshop! More details here: https://mslexia.co.uk/salon/
