I'm on a mission to help #writers hone their self-editing skills because I believe it’s a waste of their creative efforts, time, and hard-earned money submitting a manuscript to an editor, agent, publisher, or reader before it’s as ready as it can be. lornapartington.com/self-edi…
Love @GarsdaleRetreat! The project I was working on there 2 years ago with @zoestrachan has just been a finalist in the @Mslexia novel prize! I should return with my next project 😊
Thank you for wonderful & stimulating, creative week of good fellowship, good food & gorgeous countryside @GarsdaleRetreat 🦅🌿💚✍️

It's a small announcement on this page (scroll down!) but a HUGE deal for me to be one of 3 finalists in the @Mslexia novel contest for my book 'Becoming'! Congrats to the winner, other finalists and shortlistees.

Greatly enjoying the general election wit. I've missed you Twitter (#TwitterNotX).
The amount of fiction that will undoubtedly be produced by the UK general election could fill Waterstones. Brace yourselves, folks. Fact-check everything.
Join me on Monday @workshopwrite @OrchardSquare for a Writing Workout ... when we'll be getting poisonous with our pens ...

Super useful advice for fiction writers looking for an agent. @workshopwrite
Grappling with a novel synopsis? We asked 10 literary agents for their advice on this notoriously difficult beast. bathnovelaward.co.uk/the-nov…
I'm thrilled to see my grandfather, Arthur Partington, is the cover star of this new book. Can't wait to read it! Thanks @Mark_Forsdike for giving the men the recognition they deserve for their bravery and sacrifice.
