Women writers: please, please pitch. Every day I am inundated by pitches from men and get a sprinkling from women. I am trying so hard with gender balance but despite efforts every day is a struggle to get enough women on the list. Don't second guess yourself, just email!

@MrsAtkinreads @canongatebooks @renaissanceone @simontrewin Happy birthday to real and imaginary Leaplings! Enjoy your very special day ♾.
Just read a proof of Kevin Barry's THE HEART IN WINTER from @canongatebooks out in June. Holy Damn it's good. Includes (arguably) THE finest American frontier 'shroom scene in the Western Canon.
The news is out, all over town... I could not be more delighted about this: my new novel, 'That Beautiful Atlantic Waltz', will be published next year by @canongatebooks, with editions in France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. ...
My lovely @scottishbktrust team mates got me a voucher from @LandAPaperCo to celebrate publication and it only took me, like, three months to spend it. But look at those colour coordinated goodies!
If any book is going to beat Tan Twan Eng's 'The House of Doors' to the Booker Prize, it'll have to be very good indeed.
I’ve written a fiction serial for @BBCRadio4 called ‘Invasive Species’. 5 parts, broadcasting weekly from Sunday 20th of August at 7.45pm (online too). It combines all my obsessions - climate change, human behaviour & invasive plants 👀 Please do give it a listen if you can ❤️
Last night my old psychotherapy tutor emailed me ahead of publication day. He said Uprooting ‘felt like an analytic exploration in the best sense of the word, aesthetic and honest, and always reaching for a more fundamental truth.’ I feel deeply seen in this. Go well, Uprooting!
Just attended this - absolutely bloody brilliant! Ready to polish that proposal now! Thanks so much for this workshop #inspired #thewritinglife

Don't often RT praise, but still very chuffed to have Alan Cumming reading The Cutting Room and Second Cut audio books @canongatebooks 📻
Late to this but the audio version read by Alan Cumming is sensational. A perfect collision of two amazing talents @louisewelsh00
My aunt made me a lovely piece of art inspired by my book cover for my birthday! Weak Teeth as a wall hanging, who’d have thunk it?
It was around this time two years ago that 'The Coward' came out. Here's to all the wonderful humans who made that happen @canongatebooks , @JanklowUK. As for credits pages in books, please steal this idea, I did.
Help needed! For reasons too long-winded to explain here, I need 100 otter names (yes, 100 names that you might give to an otter) by this Friday (9th). So tell me: if you had an otter, what would you call them?
If I’ve achieved nothing else, at least I’ve plastered two lads kissing all around the town. TY @picadorbooks
Damn' Rebel Bitches: The Women of the '45, 25th anniversary edition, fully referenced. I'm told it's a great read, she said modestly. #Jacobites #1745 @PenguinUKBooks #Culloden
It’s real! She’s real. I’m real. My story’s real! Proofs landed today & Uprooting is available to preorder from all the good book places (link in bio!), & I cannot wait for Aug 3rd when it will be out in the world. waterstones.com/book/uprooting…
This is big news indeed👇 Ana has shown incredible passion & determination - Case Study finds itself in very capable hands. Can't wait to see what she & her co-producers do with Rebecca and Braithwaite! 🎥🎭🎬
Big news! I'm thrilled to announce that my film production company has co-optioned my favorite book of 2022: 'Case Study' by @GMacraeBurnet . With its gripping plot and unforgettable characters, I know it's going to make an incredible film. Check it out: amzn.eu/d/1ITw97R
Nicola Sturgeon clearly resigning as First Minister to follow her true calling as a book blogger.
Starring Saoirse Ronan and adapted from @amy_may's best-selling memoir of the same name, here is a first look at The Outrun directed by Nora Fingscheidt.
I was parched and asked in Toppings, Leith Walk, if they had a coffee bar. No, but they served complimentary coffees. A glass of water too? So in a couple of minutes I was served this. Only then I said I was a writer. They produced ten of my books to sign. Now that’s a bookshop.
