As some of you may know, eight of us – all volunteers, based in four countries – set up the Women Writers Network in 2017 to encourage, support, and promote fellow women writers. The result of our little group’s passion and commitment has been the creation of a vibrant writing community: originally on Twitter/X with c. 8,500 followers; and, since September of this year, on Bluesky, to which we’ve moved as it’s more closely aligned with our values. If you haven’t already, come and say hi on @womenwritersnet.bsky.social!
We’re running monthly #skychats on the third Thursday of (almost) every month. We’ve also introduced regular #AuthorInterviews on Bluesky (on the fourth Thursday). Below is one I was privileged to host in November with Stephanie Bretherton, author of The Fire In Their Eyes (reviewed here in July). Happy reading: just click on the six questions! And come and join us for our upcoming interviews in 2026, when you can pose your own questions to our fantastic guests!
