Pink Laptops,

I'm so glad you read and enjoy my incredible literary talents online. However, it really is very audacious of you to comment when you know I'm anti-pink/ Floral, yes (on a good day), but never pink.

Please rest your laurels somewhere else.

Poor Constance Lady-Rose Rider- what would she think? You know she was one of the first female MPs?

Lady Writers

Critics and academics throw all kinds of terms around - writer, lady-writer, feminist, post-feminist, journo, hack - I've heard them all, but I prefer to call myself 'woman' or 'Posie Rider', because that's my name.

You will no doubt recognise me as the famous author of The Suffragettes - Why? and the groundbreaking novel Me, Tim and my Quim. That's probably why you've stumbled upon this blog and want to hear my thoughts on Feminism, Literature and Herstory.

But being this intelligent hasn't been easy: I've lived through Merlot fuelled nights and had my share of ink stained hands, sex and prescription drugs, but all that's kept me going is the power of words to change the world - forever!

Personal Appearances!

Coming UP!

I'm delighted to be attending the SoundEye poetry festival in Cork, Ireland 13-17th July, not least because I will be running my mouth (professionally, as a poet) but because some of my favourite writers will be attending! Hurrah!

On 2nd February 2011 I read at The Other Room, in Manchester with Jow Lindsay-Walton, and Stephen Emmerson. See kindly reviews at Counting Backwards and Santiago's Dead Wasp !

Tom Raworth got stuck in the snow, but Justin Katko stepped up to read with nick-e melville, Sophie Stamina and myself on December 3rd in the City Art Centre, Edinburgh. The event was organised by the gorgeous Colin Herd (deets on Anything.Anymore.Anywhere. HERE. ) and we should expect more from this joyous reading series/journal.

Didn't everyone love Openned? On the 27th October 2010, at the Corsica Studios, we all won poetry!

I was overjoyed to be invited to read at the Scree 2 launch in Edinburgh on 15th September 2010. Read a review here! -

A big thank you to those of you who attended a reading of my poetry with other Freak Lung contributers, in honour of Barry McSweeney at the Morton Tower in Newcastle on Sunday 27th June.
