With so much of the world being forced to work from home, Valerie recently reminded us that as writers, we’re already lucky to be able to do this from anywhere. And to illustrate this point, she asked for you to share pictures of YOUR writing set ups at home. Thanks to all those who responded – here are just some of the many and varied writing nooks, tables, dens and desks that we received. So many different spaces! To kick us off, the above feature image belongs to Andrew Dunn – “self isolated in a Kings Cross room with a view…”
