I love all the @societyofauthors.bsky.social do for their writers, but I've always wondered... can a british writer based outside the UK join?

So... I'm going to back to school!

I've been accepted for an MSt (equivalent of MFA) at @ox.ac.uk

As a self-taught author and poet, I can hardly say how excited I am about this one!!!

Brought my second poetry book baby to visit Queen Arujumand (AKA Mumtaz Mahal) at her final resting place. Polymath & mother of 14, I reckon she would have loved my little collection of ecofeminist poems...
