In praise of writing friends - Tracy Darnton

My latest thriller - Ready or Not - was published this month with an in-person launch. 

This blog is a short one in praise of writing friends. (Spoiler alert* There will be Oscar-speech-style gushing).

We all know there are highs and lows with this author life. The last couple of years has been difficult for all of us. To have a team of cheerleading, sympathising, 'been there, done that, got the T shirt' friends behind you whether you're celebrating a book launch with fizz or weeping over a low point, is key. 

Fabulous, proud-looking editor behind me!

So here's a shoutout to my lovely agent, my crit groups, Write30 gang and MA buddies, the Teaspooners, Edge-of-the-Seat thriller writers, UKYA group, my SASSIES and SCBWI friends and, finally, all those without an acronym. 

Lovely agent  Jo Williamson 

You know who you are and I owe you all a cupcake. 

Tracy Darnton is the author of YA thrillers. Her latest book, Ready or Not, was immortalised in rather delicious cupcakes.
