Our ‘A Writing Chance’ writers filled the lofty halls of Parliament with their voices yesterday. Proud moment for us all. Much to do but hopeful it can be done. #AWritingChance@NewWritingNorth⁩ ⁦@jrf_uk⁩ ⁦@CommonsDCMS⁩ ⁦ thebookseller.com/news/news/shel…


Great big lovely sweary words galore including the c-💣 to be found here (thanks to @colinpaterson78 @BBCRadioWales for letting my words be heard) @NewWritingNorth #awritingchance #michaelsheen

Episode 5 is live, featuring @JacquelineHoust and her mentor @SEMcBain! 'it's kind of an amazing catalyst that it just takes one person to spot something that to them seems very obvious but to you you've always had hidden.' bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…


Jacqueline Houston Reposted

The takeaway: if you recognise talent and flair in someone, tell them!! What's obvious to you might not be that way for them. You can also listen to @JacquelineHoust's fierce and funny piece on running and sexism, read by @eddireader

❤️ this Margins to Mainstream episode, feat. @MichaelSheen and @JacquelineHoust - my @NewWritingNorth mentee. Jacq talks about the lyricist who convinced her that she, too, could write and about the huge impact a small amount of encouragement can make. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Lots to enjoy in this: Glaswegian grit, a grandmother's secret writing history, live audio of @michaelsheen tweeting.

@JacquelineHoust for #AWritingChance: 'Face down in this Scargill-scarred landscape, it’s suddenly apparent that we too are mere prey in proletariat form. Sobbing, the girl hauls herself upright. Meanwhile, the clever bloody fox is nowhere to be seen.' newstatesman.com/culture/a-writ…

Beautiful piece of writing from @JacquelineHoust describing a first sab back in the pre-ban days. Recommended.

Also featuring razor-sharp reflections on class and writing by the winners of @NewWritingNorth's A Writing Chance competition - including a characteristically spiky, funny and vivid piece by my brilliant mentee @JacquelineHoust on fox hunt sabbing. Subscribers are in for a treat!

Hey @bafta this needs sorting. @TalkingPicsTV is Britain's most popular film and television archive and you should support it. Please RT everyone.

Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to dad and I . It’s a tough job but I’m pleased we do it. We actually applied to be members of @BAFTA and they turned us down as we “we not connected enough to film”. I also put dad forward for an award for services to tv but nothing….

Thrilled to see Jacqueline Houston, a winner of the @NewWritingNorth's A Writing Chance competition and my mentee, published in @NewStatesman Jacq's writing is witty, irreverent, fierce and surprising and she has so many stories to tell! (Also: someone give her a dating column!)

"I’ve all but given up with the dating apps when suddenly in May a beautiful creature appears to rescue me from the dross: Christopher, 45, a carpenter, who wields his chiselled jaw like a weapon. He’s 6’5”" newstatesman.com/culture/a-writ…



A tall tale: hear all about *finally* being able to wear heels on a date with a Scottish boy @NewStatesman
