Not a single pronoun!! Shakes also never mentioned gender either - no characters asking to be unsexed, no characters masquerading as the opposite gender as an integral part of plots, no ironic jabs at the fact that men played all the parts onstage in the text itself. Classics!

Shakespeare didn’t walk around putting pronouns in his plays. That’s why they’re classics. Imagine if this dude wrote “My name is Macbeth and my pronouns are they/them”. SMH.

I love writing this, and I hope that it is received exactly as intended. I would not have been able to write this without the incredible support I’ve received and the love that surrounds me. If this one resonates with you, I see you and you are not alone💖

Being at the same bouji ass industry parties as someone who made it their mission to ruin me is so satisfying! Like wow bestie we’re both here look at us! 🫶🏾

If you’re at the HarperCollins party, you’ve had a great start to your career as an author and mentioning to an agent that they rejected you is not a flex and will likely just end up with an awkward conversation with someone who still doesn’t remember you. (4/4)

We have to fill in a nursery feedback form and I asked my daughter what her favourite part of nursery is expecting her to say circle time or playing with friends etc. This girl said “I like snack time and leaving”. She’s just like me fr 🥺

Sometimes my job involves delivering genuinely life changing, dream accomplishing news to someone I love and it is truly humbling, wonderful, warming, affirming shit that makes me bawl my eyes out. Today has been one of those days and I’m so grateful.

One of my lovely colleagues has just sent me a picture of this in the bookseller, and I’m surprised my screams didn’t carry all the way over to Germany. THRILLED to be able to talk about the *incredible* deals for the most wonderful, fun novel.

From the Samantha Jones to Regina George and every “Unlikeable” female character in between, with an Annalise Keating reference or two which I am sure is just for me, Anna has written an INCREDIBLE book about how women are portrayed as unlikable on screen and why we love them❤️🔥
