The annual has 7 chapters, each with an exclusive introduction by some very special guests - still can’t believe we managed to get them all to be honest! The section relating to the ‘rise of the right/war on woke etc’ is by the incredible @KitdeWaal xx

I love that this exists!! Top stuff @kitdewaal and all involved. The many ‘under 30’ competitions leave the working class and the under-confident at a disadvantage. I love there being a space for people who found the depth of their voice a little later in life.
Over 60? Writer? This is for you

In this week’s episode of #Bookshelfie by @womensprize.bsky.social, @kitdewaal.bsky.social expands on the old advice ‘write what you know’ and suggests ‘write what you know to be true’. This is brilliant. This is so much more helpful. #WritingTips #writing #KitDeWaal #bookshelfie #WomensPrize

Kit de Waal @kitdewaal deelde laatst een starterpack of starterpacks, daar zag ik ook een s.p. van NL schrijvers. Misschien is dat iets?

My name is Leon by Kit de Waal @kitdewaal is one of the most amazing books ever and one I recommend often to people to think about identity, the care system and being a child. She’s talking about it on radio 4 this afternoon. I suspect will be well worth a listen.

I'm a huge @KitdeWaal fan & loved 'The Trick to Time' & 'My Name is Leon'. I've got 'The Best of Everything' on preorder - out in April. 'Without Warning & Only Sometimes' is a slim memoir of Kit's early life. Loved it. 🩵

Another wonderful evening at the Dromineer/Nenagh #LiteraryFestival @NenaghArts - as @paulasheels discusses writing #memoir and #familyhistory with @KitdeWaal & Vona Groarke.
Really fascinated to hear both writers talk about the ethical decisions they made during research and before publication.

@KitdeWaal, sorry for the random @ but you mentioned that you’d found writing groups useful - any advice?

I did two writing workshops with @KitdeWaal and @DaljitNagra4 for #BritLit2023. I wrote flashfiction (300 words, prompt: "pocket", edited down) and a (attempted macaronic style) poem about "someone famous walking self-confidently down a street" in the workshops respectively. 1/2
