I first came across the writing/publishing CV when I started submitting my writing, and my students really seem to appreciate it when I talk about ways of building it up, so I thought it'd make a useful video. ☺️ youtu.be/f-Oj2KQIPu4 https://youtu.be/f-Oj2KQIPu413 Sep 2026 09:44 +0000at://did:plc:24ebxstd3n5dlkgxppg5dapj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvfcormirs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/alicevernon10.bsky.social/post/3muublyrr3k24I needed to rant about those bloody author scam emails that are driving me up the wall. I'm having fun with YouTube so far! My Dad is enjoying my videos, anyway. youtu.be/JJWrZdVwpWI https://youtu.be/JJWrZdVwpWI06 Sep 2026 15:09 +0000at://did:plc:24ebxstd3n5dlkgxppg5dapj/app.bsky.feed.post/3muublyrr3k24https://bsky.app/profile/alicevernon10.bsky.social/post/3muczis22v22rI've decided to give YouTube a go! My students tell me they find it helpful when I go on a tangent about my experiences of being published, so I thought I'd make some videos (hopefully once a week). I hope you enjoy them! ☺️ https://youtu.be/4Ixah0hBfDw?si=rki28m6gKITBKTTq30 Aug 2026 18:29 +0000at://did:plc:24ebxstd3n5dlkgxppg5dapj/app.bsky.feed.post/3muczis22v22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/alicevernon10.bsky.social/post/3mtwgvsvzuc2aI'm so upset.

I saw a second GP a few days later in a mess - it was millimetres away from my eye. I had giant lymph nodes, felt like I had flu, and the rash was very quickly spreading. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jul/26/shingles-rise-millennial-women26 Jul 2026 16:59 +0000at://did:plc:24ebxstd3n5dlkgxppg5dapj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrku5d2mec2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/alicevernon10.bsky.social/post/3mrajoaurfk26You can pre-order Ghosted in paperback with 25% off at Waterstones until Friday! 👻 https://www.waterstones.com/book/ghosted/alice-vernon/978139941871322 Jul 2026 14:25 +0000at://did:plc:24ebxstd3n5dlkgxppg5dapj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrajoaurfk26https://bsky.app/profile/alicevernon10.bsky.social/post/3mqj3bbo2ls2hOh, Sam Neill. Jurassic Park had such a profound influence on me as a very young child, and has never stopped being vitally important to me. The quiet but fathomless curiosity of Dr Alan Grant set me on my own career path. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crl1gk55rzet13 Jul 2026 06:36 +0000at://did:plc:24ebxstd3n5dlkgxppg5dapj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqj3bbo2ls2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/alicevernon10.bsky.social/post/3mq7sgu7mcs2hI keep getting those AI author scam emails, but this one is my new favourite. Allegedly from producer Mary Parent (the new Godzilla films; Mary must know I do love Godzilla), the signature just sells it. Very professional.

I'll be talking about my favourite moment in ghost-hunting history: Mollie Goldney's absolutely withering criticism of Harry Price's Borley Rectory antics (among her other juicy-gossip letters). Lots of great talks throughout the day, too!
