Tomorrow I will have done 2 months working at @simonschusteruk! And today I made my first official acquisition of an author I am SUPER excited about! 🤐 It has been a whirlwind eight weeks (I started on Oct 13 and immediately went to Frankfurt!) but I’m so happy to be here with my excellent team and our wonderful authors, and we have lots of big plans for 2026 and beyond… 📚💪 Thank you @perminder_mann for this opportunity! 📚💕🌆🌃📅✍️ #publishing #simonandschuster #fiction #worklife #books #writing
Christmas gathering! It’s so nice being able to host my friends and family in the new place 🍾🎄🤶 possibly unnecessary for us to drink quite as much wine but it’s the festive season after all 😂💀#christmas #christmasparty #friends #winter2025 #holidayseason #newhome #schoolfriends #suffolk #decemberfun
Thank you for making me laugh ❤️ @oliverbrierley 🖼️ #tatebritain #latenightart #november #winter #london

A few days ago on The Honest Editor I shared a post all about the publisher rejections I got for my first novel, The Doll House, before I got my first deal with @hqstories. Link in my bio! I hope they are helpful - you can see a few if you swipe right but you’ll see more on the post as well as more context around what happened and how I finally got my deal. The only way to guarantee you’ll never become a published writer is to give up! So don’t! ❤️📚✏️ #thehonesteditor #rejections #writing #publishing #substack
