Delighted to share the cover of Amira’s first UK book. She’s a young Palestinian in Gaza, living in the Rafah camp after unimaginable loss. She’s remarkable. Habibi is a book of poems, short fiction, memory fragments, a long interview with me and translations. News soon: @renardpress.com spring 2027

I’m not at home so please enjoy this sweet unboxing film from my husband and the youngest of my three sons. And may The Elixir (Hay imprint @renardpress.com) and The Alchemy (2023) before it, bring joy to your life. For writers, yes, but anyone might enjoy it. You’ll see!

Delighted to share that Writing While Caring is now available to buy. I’m anti-Amazon but we must acknowledge that unpaid carers are frequently poor and housebound so here: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1804472352/ We’re keeping the cost as low as we can. May it give you strength and comfort and please share

I can’t go to graduation again so I finally - it was awarded just before Christmas 2024 - got the official certificate and have a happy little cry. It was a joy from start to finish and it has changed my life in multiple ways.

I did something different. More as we have it. It’s… Romantic, political, extremely SPICY. Women who are menopausal and carers don’t generally get a love story - however messy - like this. But when these two meet as she comments on his Instagram reel (1 million views), well 🔥🌶️🔥🌶️🔥

I’d wondered this too. I like the little fruity ones as well as the chocolate ones and I have lovely news for you: little round guys. They’re not quite as good but a load cheaper. Aldi.

It’s Mummy Bookworm here. I was just thinking of my ten years in publishing and writing and related and thinking what an absolute rollercoaster it’s been as a creative. BUT ALSO it’s been great to fall on my arse & mostly fail so many times with you lot & so many brilliant folks. Love love love you

Anna’s teaching platform - image. I’m doing it myself mostly because I’m a teacher, an academic, a writer, have a complex life and I’m making my own ecosystem so I can do more without permission BOOM ❤️

I did a PhD by published works. Surreal. This is a print off of my initial certificate. I’m not really a vellum sort of girl

My new teaching platform launches next year. I’ve always felt I didn’t fit in with any publishing/writing ecosystem. I’m prolifically published, a floating academic, secondary English & Creative Writing teacher & I’ve had a tough life too. So I figured: be a badass and make your own ecosystem!

Prior to a new newsletter and building my teaching platform, if you scoot over to see me @bookwormvaught6 on Insta, there are plenty of writing and publishing reels, generally irreverent. Also cats, opinions, I’m always political, also cake, flowers and lipstick

This contains the F word. Apols. It’s about a single dress at this year’s Met Gala & what you could do with the money. Just one example - taken from some of the work I’m currently doing. And I say three undergraduate students but we might be able to fund and support three, place & course dependent

So 90k. I already had a good deal of the book but I’m doing a career pivot and shifting from straight literary to upmarket. Things to learn; new skills. And I thought…how when I wrote The End I really wanted someone to be there saying Well Done. It’s a craving for it now - there’s honest. 2 things

I was later lucky enough to see him again in Henry IV parts i and ii and it was a joy. These are two of my favorite Shakespeare plays. Anyway Doran’s book is a beautiful one; it’s not only about Shakespeare, but watching him track down folios was fascinating. (My own pic; BL)

If you’re discussing Shakespeare today, I have Gregory Doran’s new book, and while my favourite Shakespeare play remains The Winter’sTale, it was seeing Anthony Sher in The Merchant of Venice that lit a fire under me - I was very young but felt it, if that makes sense.

I hope you’ll be there! I’m so glad that the multiple award-winning indie @renardpress.com understood my mission with these teaching books and has taken on publication of three more after The Elixir. The best thing for me was to create my own ecosystem for my nonfiction work and a stable platform 💙📚
