Calling all writers! Published author & workshop leader Carla Jenkins will be giving a talk at Exeter Library on 20 June covering the psychology of writing, imposter syndrome, work ethic, resilience + craft of writing, plus 10 top tips to publication. eventbrite.co.uk/e/10-tips-to-p…
@BookDevon A huge loss indeed - a man of principle - did a lot of legal aid work as a solicitor. A champion of justice which also comes through in his Tudor era set novels.
@BookDevon @Jenny_Bew_Orr @Elif_Safak Hi there! The session is here: youtu.be/T4fK3CvkIkU
Thank you. @Elif_Safak is such a fascinating and inspiring thinker. I love the idea of valuing diversity as a principle, as a value and as something to be treasured. From there we derive so much humanity and in that way we can maybe combat tribalism.

So very sad. What a great writer he was.
Ooh. That's intriguing
As ever, everyone, many thanks for yoru friendship and company. It's always a great way to get the week going. Have a great couple of weeks and keep sharing your book news and views #devonbookhour
AS we come to the end of our hour a reminder that we'll have a gap next week as it's another b/h but we'll be back in a fortnight and do keep the chat coming #devonbookhour
@BookDevon just a l’il reminder that my new book, Murder at the Pirate Festival is released this Thursday! It’s a swashbuckling cosy murder with Devonshire pirate festival vibes. #devonbookhour
@BookDevon @JessGreengrass wrote the wonderful novel, Sight, a maternal odyssey so beautifully written. @jennashworth wrote a few but my fave is Cold Light, a teen tragedy with dark humour and twisted secrets. #devonbookhour
@BookDevon @umbrellacafe I guess this also might apply to your earlier point about what writing disturbing scenes/stories might do to writers. What one writer might feel emotionally safe writing, another might not and vice versa. And, yes, timing as well. #devonbookhour
@BookDevon I bought his books a few years ago & haven't actually read them yet - always lots to read - but I've taken a peak several times & there's something so grounding about the story, gaining perspective remembering the simple joys in life, and creatures, big and small. #devonbookhour
Yes indeed. It was a Zoom party joined by people from all over the world - a very wise and much loved man who has worked in social change over 5 decades and is still contributing. He remarked today on how we should record and think about the change we contribute to.#devonbookhour

@ajhobbs60 @BookDevon Just as catching sight of the man and his animals were in life, I think, Angela. A well known local traveller with well-loved horse & dog, and beautifully painted caravan. I remember him from when I first moved to Devon, and thought what an extraordinary life. #devonbookhour
@MarinaSofia8 @BookDevon @austennerd Hello, and how lovely to have you join in from Berlin! Yes, crime novel translating must have you coming across some that are hard to take via violence... #DevonBookHour
@SJW_writer @BookDevon Just read the extract, Susie - that sounds like such a relaxing and reflective read - a pool of calm in an all too frenetic world.
@a_cossins @BookDevon I adore The Colour Purple. And I’m reminded to reread Oranges are not the Only Fruit. Not read the others but thank you for the recommendations. #devonbookhour
@BookDevon Some, yes. But I write and know a fair few writers. They all say that they write about their biggest fears. xx
@BookDevon Yes … I think leaving a little to the reader’s imagination is good. Saying that the writing was outstanding so I did forgive it quite a lot.
Wonderful though I've not read Marge Piercy - can you say a little more about her book? #devonbookhour

@BookDevon picture books to my two boys and a big mix of fiction and nonfiction myself
Good morning from Reykjavik. Seems like spring is finally here. Temperature is only 7*c but it’s bright and beautiful and all the spring birds have arrived! #icelandspring
Happy Tuesday! Migraine gone, and it's warm and sunny enough for a dress. Just need a cupcake now...
@SJW_writer @BookDevon Yep the older I get the more of a turn off it becomes
@BookDevon Depends on the writer, some would love it others would be distressed and every thing in-between.. I guess motive for writing it would then be up for discussion
@BookDevon Without the desire to sound contrary, I think that writer should congratulate herself. Her book had the desired impact (being a dystopian novel). *though particularly upsetting triggers (eg cannibalism, rape) should have been highlighted in the blurb to warn readers*
@BookDevon I don't know whether X will let you follow the link, but let's give it a try ... theunhurriedreader.substack.com/p/time-to-lear…
@BookDevon I did not know this about him (from The Guardian obit): "[he did his] PhD ... on the British Labour party’s policy towards South Africa between the wars." Now determined to read everything he wrote.
@BookDevon I read most genres! Especially contemporary and literary fiction - also love a good thriller! Am too wimpy for horror!
@BookDevon @IamJoCole *sticks up hand* As someone who co-authored erotic novels (The Girl Walks In series), I can assure you that while they're fun to write, it's a fairly prosaic process. You spend a lot of time checking the choreography (in one draft, we accidentally gave our heroine 3 arms.
@exmoorjane @BookDevon I will re read it at some point 👍❤️📚

@tortoise @BookDevon @Elif_Safak Thank you!!!
