Literary Agent • Small Person • Mum • Sceptic

When I got pregnant, I did not think ahead to the moment 11 years later when I would have to stand on the edge of a football pitch in the pouring rain in December.

"Alexandra Wilson’s Culture Vultures is a diatribe against the attempt to turn the arts into mediocre, unappealing, deplorable shadows of themselves". (Philip Hensher, The Spectator)

Lovely comment from a reader on Facebook. "Very much looking forward to reading this. I enjoyed Alexandra’s previous book, Someone Else’s Music: Opera and the British. She writes with authority, underpinned by careful research, but in a way which is highly readable".

It's me with Emmeline Pankhurst statue last time i was in Manchester! (should have held arm out straighter & worn a hat). But i am very proud to say i have become a hatless ambassador of the city's small but mighty Pankhurst museum (in advance of my book launch there on Sat). 1/3

Also, thanks to @SharonHorgan my husband now thinks that Frankfurt Book Fair = naked saunas with men. If only.

Loved spotting UNKIND by @glosswitch on the new Sharon Horgan series #YOUTH about a middle aged literary agent (close to the bone!). She’s at #FrankfurtBookFair in this episode.

🖋️VERY pleased to have been asked by fabulous @EthelWrites to write for them: brief was 'women's voices' which made me think back over the 40 or so women I interviewed for my book Sexed (some of them NEW for revised paperback, out from @politybooks this month!):
Breaking off from JR for a moment to bring you latest issue of The Frontline, with a powerful piece by Iryna who lives in Sumy, NE Ukraine; @SusannaRustin on the power of women’s voices and @hollowood_zoe on *that* magnificent speech. Amazing women! frontlinewomen.substack.com

I’m sorry, but mocktails should be $4. You poured fruit juice, soda, and some garnish into a glass. There is absolutely no reason that should cost the same as a cocktail.

I simply do not understand the now seemingly common view that there is one approved set of views to hold and that one must voice those approved views in public, in the course of one's work, or else. This is chilling. Follow @Freedom_in_Arts and read my book.

Obviously the most important aspect of this case is the fact that this rapist is sobbing.
