Excellent news today that bee-killing neonicotinoids are to be permanently banned in the UK.
A very welcome step by @OfficeforEP to launch investigation into @DefraGovUK's authorisation of #neonics during previous Govt Even better is the very clear @UKLabour manifesto promise (restated by a spokesperson today) to ban them, once and for all! https://t.co/XAshmZENoQ

Are you writing a new novel? I’m teaching this course online in October…a mixture of everything I’ve learned teaching for @FaberAcademy @guardianclasses @uniofeastanglia and @arvonfoundation and through a thirty year writing life. Just a few places left
Are you starting a new novel? There are only three places left on our amazing online retreat. A rare opportunity to work with novelist @jdawsonwriter as she (author of poetry, stories and a dozen novels) shares how she does it:

More exciting news (embargoed for now) from one of my writing mentees, which is always so thrilling!
'I wouldn't be where I am without my @GoldDustwriters mentor' - we hear this such a lot, when our graduate writers publish or win prizes. Is it time you had a writing mentor? We have places with our top mentors to start in September, but they get snapped up - apply now!

We have Alice Munro to thank for winning a Nobel for the short story, the most derided form of literature, one guaranteed to make agents and publishers take alarm because they’re NOT SELLABLE.
