Switched it up from novel writing and today I finished the first draft of my first feature length screenplay. Woooo!
Just out here, doing the thing, trying to make @Massawyrm (and myself) proud. 😎

If you’re interested in how I approach writing historical fiction, check out this piece I wrote for LitHub. It was really fun to think about the process and the things I love about it.
“It’s not a job for the faint of heart, or the impatient. But for those of us with brains that crave this kind of work, it is bliss.” @gem_tizz breaks down the challenges (and rewards) of researching for historical fiction.

Very excited to see Grace start making her way out into the world!
#GraceoftheEmpireState by @gem_tizz is out soon on 28th January 2025 from @headlinepg - Grace O'Connell, a show dancer, takes her twin brother's place as a steelworker on the Empire State Building, disguised as him, to support their family. #BookTwitter amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D8FKDX5V
Thank you so much!
#GraceoftheEmpireState by @gem_tizz is a wonderful story of courage, sacrifice, resilience and love set against the perils of depression-era New York. Heart-warming, romantic, and on times utterly nerve-wracking, I loved every minute of it!
Out 28/1/25 @headlinepg @SheriseHobbs
This is excellent. Listen to Will. 📚
10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵
1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.

I’ve just started a new Instagram page for book related things…you can find me there @gemma_tizzard if you want to, no pressure, you do you, etc.
The first country to buy my book was Germany and the second was the UK, so I feel in good company! Not quite at 101 though 😂
The very first country to buy #TheThursdayMurderClub was Germany, the second was the UK, and the most recent was Malta (hi Malta!). It has now been published in 101 countries! Still waiting for Vanuatu though.
Just gave myself a nasty paper cut with my page proofs…that’ll be the blood to go with the sweat and tears. 😂 #amwriting #debutauthor #writerslife #writerscommunity
My brain can’t count, so although I’m trying to edit book two, it’s having some wonderful ideas for what I hope will be book four. 🫠👍🏻 #anwriting
Seeing my name and my book in a Publishers Marketplace square is a dream. Huge thanks to @AbZurdity for making it happen!

Happy #BookshopDay! After a busy summer editing book one and writing book two, I’m very much looking forward to catching up on this, by the lovely @KateGrayAuthor 🤓📚
