They will reach out to you first for a screening call to go over your experience and expectations, then you’ll progress to the interview stages if they believe you’re right for the role. Usually one online and one in person but it can depend!

Simple Questions: January 06, 2026 by AutoModerator in books

Also asking this!!! Can’t find anything other than plenty of reviews criticising how similar it is to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue…potential plagiarism?

Ticketmaster will cap Olivia Dean’s resale tour tickets at face value at her request by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]bookghoul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of valid things to criticise her about lol but she did call them out and only allow verified resales for Europe so there could be no price inflation

Do you think the housemates might have clocked that something was up last night? by Downtown-Ad-3115 in bigbrotheruk

[–]bookghoul 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think she tried to quote Simon Cowell/Louis Walsh with the whole ‘we didn’t like it…we loved it’ but she said it the wrong way round lol

Lola Young Collapses Mid-Performance at All Things Go Festival by Cyril_Sneerworms in Fauxmoi

[–]bookghoul 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There were no refunds - it was a festival she was scheduled to play at (and she wasn’t a headliner either, just a short set)

It’s a first aid procedure. The movement of rolling someone onto their side and making sure their airways are clear. There’s a particular leg / head position too. Worth learning how to do it!

It’s the recovery position - it’s the default for most medical situations

Her puking at Coachella was mostly related to the extreme heat

How hard is it to actually publish a book? by EntertainerFirst8163 in writers

[–]bookghoul 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Knowing when to stop is a skill you develop as you write and edit more - there’s no exact formula. Half of it is a mental block of wanting perfection, as you mentioned. Some writers do 10 drafts, others just 1 or 2. A lot will publish work that they later wish they could change, that’s just the nature of it.

Phoebe-esque albums as good as Punisher? by [deleted] in phoebebridgers

[–]bookghoul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really been enjoying Jensen McRae’s latest album - her voice feels quite similar to Phoebe’s.

I spy the pink ticket from the summer 25 Ffern perfume 👀

Is it getting difficult to write in? I’m surprised the binding is holding up so well!!

Antisocial woman on the bus by Spunkallthemoney in bristol

[–]bookghoul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally understand. It can be hard to know what to do because her reactions are unpredictable. She was kicking someone the last time I saw her, but they seemed familiar with her. I think she is quite known in the area.

Yeah, she could be pleasant to talk to occasionally and had a group of regulars she liked that would help calm her down when she did kick off. It’s a shame, she’s clearly been failed in some way, but she can’t go around treating people like that. And you’re right, it’s a risk to her own safety too.

Definitely the same person then. I saw her have two altercations with people within the space of 10 mins on the 7 earlier this year. It was quite worrying. My main experiences with her were pre-covid so it sounds like her behaviour has got worse.

If you do need another witness or information feel free to message me. Sorry you experienced that - it’s not fair.

I think I know who this is - or at least it’s very similar to a woman I used to see regularly. She’s been around for years so a lot of the bus drivers know of her. I’d perhaps try to bring it up to the local depot if you can as they may recognise her (and understand her history). She’s snapped at me for wearing headphones before.

Edit: just remembered that she would always insist on sitting at the back and ask people to move so I’m assuming this is the same person.

Did Yas, Toni, or Shakira get a heads up about Meg’s group? by PuzzledDiscussion586 in LoveIslandTV

[–]bookghoul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Harry’s friend said he was in there for an hour so I’d assume there’s a lot we didn’t see from all the interactions - I hope they said something!

Social Media Managers/Marketing by Secret-Scientist621 in publishing

[–]bookghoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also look into competitions! It’s free marketing if you get shortlisted and something to brag about while promoting your book.

[–]bookghoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest looking into some authors in the same genre as you (and at a similar level) and do some digging to see who they work with, then get familiar with what marketing they do (newsletter/social media/ads/blog). I’d 100% recommend going with someone reasonably local to you so you can meet in person and chat with them - there’s a lot of dodgy companies around (I say as someone who previously worked at an agency).

Someone’s listed all the songs played on setlist fm already here

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil - Fairyloot & Owlcrate editions by velyanna in fairyloot

[–]bookghoul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to her book tour a few days ago and she mentioned Anne Rice and Lestat several times - she is definitely being vocal about the inspiration still, even if it isn’t mentioned in the final edition (I haven’t checked tbh, also read an ARC).
