I was given a set of Cross pens for a significant birthday a few years ago and one of these is my bestest signing pen and so it travels with me wherever I go in the hope that someone somewhere has one of my books about their person they wish me to sign! Oh, I’m… Continue reading Interview with Claire Dyer
I always use black Papermate Flexigrip Ultra pens. They’re really comfortable to write with and very reliable. I never go anywhere without two (in case one runs out – heaven forbid!) in my pocket or bag. Over the years, I’ve unconsciously developed a ‘Goldilocks’ system of notebooks.

I’ve become a practical writer. Biros accommodate the bulk of my pencil case.… Continue reading Interview with Eiman Munro
