Q&A. If you have a question about writing or reading or absurdly XL dogs or querying agents or chopping wood or moving to a new country or book tours or Tuva on TV or the ending of The Last One or bookstores or the filming of The Last Thing to Burn or genres or forest life or anything else leave a comment or a DM. I’ll answer them all in a video very soon.

How do you find the strength to carry on when everyone is saying ‘no’?
I think this is valid for writers and non-writers. Dealing with rejection. Moving forward when it’s really tough. Holding on to a scrap of self-belief.
A quiet chat from the Swedish forest.

New videos coming soon. Drop me a comment if there’s a subject you’d like covered eg writing a first draft, querying agents, what to read to help your writing, how to impress an agent, how to reach a point where you can write full-time, indies vs big four, pushing genre limits, structuring a plot. Bernie and I will see you soon! 🐾

Hello. Welcome.
I’m a British writer living in an isolated Swedish forest. My St Bernard is bigger than yours.
