Anyone who's experienced the sheer ecstasy of reading Barbara Trapido will be able to answer this question posed in her profile in the current issue of the New Yorker. Her devotees include Katherine Rundell, Meg Mason, Maggie O'Farrell, Ann Patchett and Elizabeth Gilbert, to name a few, and also you, I challenge you to read her without immediately wanting to fall at her feet.

We could be more excited to have her as our guest author next month at our Masterclasses in Marrakech from 22nd - 27th November. Due to a cancellation, one place has just become available, get in touch at [email protected] if you're interested in booking it or to have a chat about it. In the meantime, all hail Queen Babs 🙌🙌

Last week we had our first Writing Retreat at glorious Batheaston House. We weren't sure what to expect in a new location with our trademark workshops and one-to-one feedback but with afternoons left free to write - beyond grateful that it was a roaring success. Thank you to everyone who came, god what a lovely bunch, it was truly a privilege to have you. See you in Marrakech for our Masterclasses soon!

Happy birthday to my favourite, Graham Greene. A friend and I read Brighton Rock together a few years ago, he in India and me in London, WhatsApping back and forth, him waiting patiently for me to reach the devastating ending. We're embarking on this one - set in a l***r colony in the Congo (I do prefer Greene abroad generally) - as soon as I return from our Writing Retreat in Bath next week!! I thought about reading it there but Greene casts too much of a spell! Which are your favourite Greenes? Mine are The Comedians and Our Man in Havana.

I love George Saunders and agree wholeheartedly.

We talk about writing a lot at Silk Road Slippers and I'm thrilled we have participants who've found their voice, found agents, landed book deals, but I think I'm most grateful for the friendships. On that note, this is a throwback to and I popping into our local bookshop during our summer writing break in Buenos Aires. Isabelle and I met at our Masterclasses in Marrakech and now I can't imagine life without her (also, her manuscript is crazy good).

We're absolutely thrilled to be back at Chelsea Arts Festival this Sunday for a writingmasterclass at Cadogan Hall!! I believe they're down to the last few tickets (link in their bio). We had such a great group last year. One woman - bubbly and funny and whip smart - wrote a piece we adored, took her feedback very seriously and then contacted me six months later to say that she had never written before our workshop and hadn't stopped and asked me to read her manuscript which I LOVED SO MUCH and am delighted to be working on these days. I adore this festival, magical things happen.
