The tweet has been deleted, but the damage is done. Seeing a Booker prize judge giggle & pour scorn on the fact that a dinner lady & steelworker had attended a book club is patronising & sickening My parents were working class and avid readers. My dad was a Shakespeare expert.

It might sound like a small thing, but this assumption that working class folk aren’t readers is so damaging It’s why public libraries have been allowed to be reduced and replaced. It’s why school libraries fight for funding to exist let alone buy books. Reading goes beyond class

I honestly don’t understand how being “woke” is used against people as some kind of negative slur Being aware. Having your eyes wide open. Not sleep walking into things…. How is any of this bad?

I will never understand why people with a working class background like my own, could bring themselves to ever vote Tory.

My ambition as a child, was to get a book published at a younger age than Jayne Fisher of Garden Gang fame. She was 9 and my hero at the time. Alas, I failed, but I never stopped writing. I'm still blown away by how talented Jayne was.

For 50 yrs women were banned from playing football in this country. As a girl growing up in the 80s and 90s, I didn’t play football at school. Girls football was always seen as a bit of a joke The Lionesses & their sisters before them have fought to get here. Who’s laughing now

I’ve never had a hairstyle that’s generated so many comments. It’s so lovely having women coming up and telling me how much they love my crazy style Growing out grey doesn’t have to be aging. It can be fun and creative ❤️

Can you give me inspiring/great examples of authors who had limited success with several books - before finding a break or reinventing themselves?

Its sad that the books that are often the most popular in school libraries (aside from Wimpy Kid, DW etc) are often the ones rarely promoted and shouted about elsewhere. Quiet authors, midlist, but popular with kids. Working in a library has opened my eyes to this even more.

Re: class. I remember going for interviews after graduating. V.posh firms. One interviewer scoffed at the school I attended and made me repeat words At another interview, a female interviewer made a comment about my suit being “cheap” & I might want to invest better I didn’t fit
