IT’S THE WEEKEND! The sun is shining ☀️ and it’s the kind of Saturday where we colour-coordinate our clothes and our books. 📚

CURRENT READ: My Dark Vanessa.
So, #writingcommunity , two questions:
1) Have you read it & what did you think?
2) What are you reading this weekend?

Other poets and writers ain't your competitors, they're your collaborators. It doesn't matter if their poem gets more attention than yours or vice versa, what matters is how we respond to each other's work. How we build each other up. How we create off the back of creation.

Wordsmith_HQ Kristina Adams Thanks for sharing our community with your following 🙃 We can’t wait for Sophie’s session on Thursday - there are so many great takeaways about feedback from - and for! - publishers 😁
