This year, Bath Children's Literature Festival programmed just seven writers of colour out of a line up of nearly 100 authors, and then responded to critics by asking them to remove their social media posts. @ihussainwriter.bsky.social explains what happened writershq.co.uk/writers-of-c...

An urgent reminder before the summer holidays start - your writing is important and carving out time and space for your creative practice is neither frivolous or selfish. It is important. YOU are important. 😱

If we could work-harder our way to a finished novel, we would simply just do that. But we can't. Because hard work isn't the problem. Time, space, joy - all these things are in short supply. But - plot twist - we have the answer <cue uplifting music>. writershq.co.uk/courses/the-...
