Writers - can you run, catch and throw? We can't, so are looking for some that can... lovely piece by @CCampbell_Agent
Thrilled to be published in @Soc_of_Authors's magazine on the joys of playing cricket with @AuthorsCC. If you've been published & would like to play for us, do get in touch. [email protected]

This is a genuine Leave campaign video from the 2016 referendum.
Notice how absolutely none of the claims it makes have since come true.
In fact they provide a useful shopping list of things that have been made worse by Brexit.

Our issue spotlight continues with two poems by @nicholas_hogg! Here is the opening to ‘Royalty’ badlilies.uk/nicholas-hogg
ALT Royalty In the alleyways walled by brick and fence, spike and barb, where the backyard guards are the pictures of dogs on padlocked doors, another pleb falls. Among the shining spines of bloodied needles, the burnt-out wreck of a moped - torched and dumped like a mob-hit corpse - the broken glass

Well chuffed to have been invited onto this riverish edition of @R3TheVerb tomorrow alongside @ruthpadel @audiobuffer and @Cbergvall - hopefully as good a listen as it was to record… bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001kpl…

‘Hotten is not just good, he is one of the best’ Cricketer
BAT, BALL AND FIELD is a wonderful foray into the history and culture of cricket by @theoldbatsman.

Good morning 2023. Not had a new book out for a while, so here's a plug for my debut collection, Missing Person, published by @brokensleep this autumn. With poems from @MunLitCentre @wellslitfest prizes, and a host of veritable journals (thank you, eds) nicholashogg.com/poetry

Nearly 3 years later it's finally finished!! 'Women and Girls' Cricket: How We Can Grow The Game Together' is now available in most places (Amazon, Waterstones, The Female Cricket Store and Sequoia Books) There are too many people to thank but I will give it a go.......

Out today, and rather timely, I think - a guide to economics by Rebecca Campbell (an associate professor at the LSE) and, er, me. Perhaps someone should send copies to Liz and Kwasi ...? simonandschuster.co.uk/books…

Made a booktok trailer-type thingy for Dogs of the Deadlands. Persuaded my daughter to sing it. Quite pretty, I think. Includes some of @RobinsonKH's amazing artwork. Wish I were a bit more adept at this sort of thing… Please share!

Well, publication day for Dogs of the Deadlands. Huge thanks to all at @Rocktheboatnews and @OneworldNews for being such brilliant publishers, and to @RobinsonKH for his beautiful art work. Happy to send a signed book plate to anyone who buys a copy.
