Whoops! Sorry, that page appears to have gone into hibernation.

I am quite proud of the fact that I have managed to avoid writing much about AI on my blog thus far, but like everyone, I’ve been thinking more and more about the impact it is going to have on writers.

Hello people. I am back from another year at the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival and I can honestly say it was the best yet. My seventh time! 

I always say this, but I have the best clients! I’m really happy to be sharing another project spotlight with you, this time for historical fiction author Constance Emmett.

AI chatter is all the rage in all the author communities I am a part of - and very little of it is good! Authors, agents and publishers are - understandably - grappling with this huge change to our industry and at the moment, it feels as though we are all just waiting to see what happens when the dust settles.

Several web designers (including me 😠) have recently been targeted by phishing emails that impersonate us.

These days, it truly is possible to create your own stunning website without being an expert. All it takes is time – most web platforms such as Squarespace and Wix are easy to use – once you’ve got over the initial learning curve, and learnt your way around their content management systems.

I recently finished my 13th novel and, as I write this, it is currently with my agent for her verdict (cue much email-refreshing and chewing of nails on my part).

You’ll be surprised at the number of authors I talk to who say they don’t think author websites are necessary. 

Did you know most people will visit your author website on their phone?

So it’s super important that your author website looks just as good on mobile as it does on desktop!
