Keeping International Women’s Day alive beyond the month of March, Waterstones x Yolklore Magazine present a one-off panel event, Don’t Kill My Scribe, delving into the lives and loves of female writers: novelists, journalists and copywriters, and some who cross the streams. Freelancer Tori Attwood asks her team of crack panelists about their inspiration, self-doubt and the curse of writer’s block, fiction as a safe space and how they fit writing around their day-to-day schedules. Currently busy coming up with suitable answers are: Emily Morris, Writer-in-Residence at Gladstone’s Library and author of My Shitty Twenties, recently optioned for TV; Sarah Tierney, a Manchester Confidential copywriter working on a follow-up to Sandstone Press-published Making Space; Holly Ringland, author of internationally bestselling debut The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart; journalist and Second World War novelist Shirley Mann, and Sarah Parkinson, a creative advertising graduate, artist and children’s author, including of The Shoe Foxes.
