Dates for the diary in March 2026 — Jane Fraser Jane has four W eights and Measures events across south Wales this March. She would love to see you.

I'm hitting the road across south Wales in March to chat all things 'Weights and Measures'. It would be great to see reader and writer friends at Caldicot, Llantwit Major, Swansea and Penarth. Details here:

Currently reading: Weights and Measures by Jane Fraser @janefraserwriter.bsky.social. It's described as 'an unhurried historical novel that ends as surprisingly for the characters as the reader,' and with that and my penchant for the #HomeFront #WW2, how could I not?

Good to be back on my beach. Strong north westerly and a flow tide at Broughton Bay Llangennith Gower Wales. Ideal for kite surfing. I wish! #amwalking #amwriting #aminawe

Thanks to Jane Fraser for this thoughtful reflection on Ghost Town and Wild Twin in Nation Cymru.

This is amazing advice. I have been too close to my second novel in draft. I am now going in again with fresh eyes and see if I can get more narrative propulsion. Thank you so much. J.

What an incredible way to welcome our new magazine into the world: with a sold-out event, amazing energy, and readings from four of our brilliant contributors to Issue 001.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out on this rainy Thursday night to celebrate with us. We're still reeling.
