My philosophy whenever I do a reading or give a talk is, first, to not be boring, and, second, to be useful in some way - and I wanted to do this even though it was my own book launch - I wanted to pass on permission to other writers to write odd, uncategorizable books! If you'd like to watch the launch, it's now up on YouTube, you can watch it below - and there's more info about the book here: <a href="http://www.taniahershman.com/wp/go-on-a-novel/" target="_blank">http://www.taniahershman.com/wp/go-on-a-novel/</a></p>

<strong><span style="font-size: 24px;"><em>Annie Edson Taylor, 1901</em></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 24px;">by Frankie McMillan</span></strong></p>
<p>1</p>
<p>Picture the cold dark inside of the barrel. Annie feeling her way
over the padded mattress to a harness hanging from the side. The barrel
sways in the water. Picture her fastening herself upright into the
harness, pulling the leather strap tight across her chest. Picture Annie
flailing about, she can’t find her lucky heart-shaped pillow. Now
picture the barrel picking up speed, with the current, heading straight
towards the falls.</p>
<p>2</p>
It’s not as if falling was something new. Early on, I fell from my
crib, I fell through haystacks, I fell from grace, I fell behind the
church to kiss the bridesmaids, I fell between heaven and hell then into
marriage</blockquote><p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> ...</span></p><p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> </span></p><p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Read the full story here </span><a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" href="https://t.co/sQIMyH4RM2" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" role="link" target="_blank"><span aria-hidden="true" class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-hiw28u r-qvk6io r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">https://</span>cleavermagazine.com/seven-starts-t<span aria-hidden="true" class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-hiw28u r-qvk6io r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">o-the-woman-who-went-over-the-falls-in-a-barrel-by-frankie-mcmillan</span></a><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> - book your ticket here </span><a href="https://www.arvon.org/writing-courses/courses-retreats/how-i-write-frankie-mcmillan/">https://www.arvon.org/writing-courses/courses-retreats/how-i-write-frankie-mcmillan/</a>.

Here's a poem from <a href="http://taniahershman.com/wp/still-life-with-octopus-poems/" target="_blank">my new collection, Still Life With Octopus, </a>in celebration:</p><p>
</p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Life With Octopus (II)</b></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 100%; orphans: 0; widows: 0;">
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span face="Baskerville Old Face, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
only asked her once to climb inside a jar for me. (Before we met, I'd
watched all the videos of those experiments.) She sighed but did it,
said I could screw the lid, released herself easily. You could become
any shape you want, I said. She said nothing. One arm sent itself out
to switch the kettle on. While she made us tea, I put the jar back in
the cupboard, feeling that slight ache from too much sitting in my
hip bones, my lower back, where fixed part meets fixed part of me. </span></span></span></span></span></p></blockquote><p align="left" class="western" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 100%; orphans: 0; widows: 0;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span face="Baskerville Old Face, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></span></span>

could spin cliches here – less is more, small is beautiful, short and
sweet etc… – but let’s waste no time and cut to the chase, because
that’s what we will be doing on this course. Without sacrificing depth,
richness, story or meaning, we will examine and probe the tiniest works
made of words – whether as prose, poetry or other shapes – and take
inspiration from other miniatures across all fields, from the
microscopic in science and art to the briefest of films and pieces of
music, to create our own. Together we will approach the very small from
many different angles, cutting down to it, working up to it, weighing it
to feel every word, every pause and punctuation mark, discussing what
is needed, what can be let go. Come join us in praise of the petite. No
miniaturising – or writing – experience necessary!</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.arvon.org/writing-courses/courses-retreats/hybrid-brevity/" target="_blank">https://www.arvon.org/writing-courses/courses-retreats/hybrid-brevity/ </a><br /></p><p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"></span></p>Tania Hershmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32078352.post-67498829600036163252021-03-08T17:21:00.005+00:002021-09-30T11:35:16.092+01:00On This Day She on Dan Snow's History Hit podcast<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotxGcPRHlChjG0_OXTiBZymY43GToyFSXesTQaQ162uqosKYeBXlRYmB4RQGuSwFGYdoX1Mj6dZ-khu0jNkXAnLpRMrjKnDmJRJRkKoO_E2PCY2wA460FGYOYreXlOQP151ry/s1219/Screen+Shot+2021-03-08+at+17.16.22.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="1219" height="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotxGcPRHlChjG0_OXTiBZymY43GToyFSXesTQaQ162uqosKYeBXlRYmB4RQGuSwFGYdoX1Mj6dZ-khu0jNkXAnLpRMrjKnDmJRJRkKoO_E2PCY2wA460FGYOYreXlOQP151ry/w434-h121/Screen+Shot+2021-03-08+at+17.16.22.png" width="434" /></a></div><br /><p>Happy International Women's Day!

It's a brilliant way to make sure we don't lose these vital booksellers, so please do use it for your book-buying needs. Publishers can have their own shops too - my fantastic publisher <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ninearches" target="_blank">Nine Arches</a> has one.<p></p><p> </p><p>But not just that - authors can also set up their own virtual shop, which I have just done, so that, as well as buying signed copies direct from me through <a href="http://www.taniahershman.com">www.taniahershman.com</a>, you can now buy a selection of my books through <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/taniahershman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">my own shop on the new UK Bookshop.org website</a> - as well as browse an ever-growing list of books that inspire my own writing, from octopuses to short stories, poetry and hybrids! And I received 10% of any book sales through my shop, which is a real boost to authors, especially those of us published by small presses. Happy shopping!<br /></p>Tania Hershmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32078352.post-75360073163569677972020-11-09T09:56:00.001+00:002020-11-09T09:56:07.832+00:00On This Day She - The Book!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmXNHrXL3VBNx9GeogFm0sllIMNnnqB0gYxtEZDqaMeWyF4EB1XOh83pw49Zk9zu4cHJEqv7jBxxqt81ROJia8zdsHtsyenSuftWIo_GHLnt3Yb-gQJ6tBTJyJa0u18TA2g7Hw/s1080/AMZ2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmXNHrXL3VBNx9GeogFm0sllIMNnnqB0gYxtEZDqaMeWyF4EB1XOh83pw49Zk9zu4cHJEqv7jBxxqt81ROJia8zdsHtsyenSuftWIo_GHLnt3Yb-gQJ6tBTJyJa0u18TA2g7Hw/s320/AMZ2.png" /></a></div><p></p><p><strong><em>On This Day She: Putting Women Back into History One Day at a Time</em></strong>
