5. Human voices come in all kinds of accents and intonations. Books do the same: the days of writing in some uniform RP version of the language are (thankfully) over. Enjoy your voice, whatever it’s like: it’s yours. Find your audience. Follow your joy. Not everyone lives to 40.
Great events @BookPaisley as usual - check out the programme: paisleybookfest.com/programme-full/ I'm so sorry to be missing @womenslibrary's own @BadsvilleBroad as I'm working. Her book, 'The Unpicking' is superb! Also wish I could go to the @sarasheridan / @LesleyMcDowell1 event - fab duo!

5. Human voices come in all kinds of accents and intonations. Books do the same: the days of writing in some uniform RP version of the language are (thankfully) over. Enjoy your voice, whatever it’s like: it’s yours. Find your audience. Follow your joy. Not everyone lives to 40.
Great events @BookPaisley as usual - check out the programme: paisleybookfest.com/programme-full/ I'm so sorry to be missing @womenslibrary's own @BadsvilleBroad as I'm working. Her book, 'The Unpicking' is superb! Also wish I could go to the @sarasheridan / @LesleyMcDowell1 event - fab duo!
