Or a tiny little dear hartFauna. OmgI hadn't spotted that. Maybe it was a tiny little deer
Thread title contender? Jack Monroe: Back-in-ya-box!I'm late joining you all today but this is the book Jack wants to write and it's already been done.
So, back in your box, Jack. There is no niche here for you.
Or perhaps Dr Jackenstein's experiments with pistachio milk have borne an awful fruit? Book number something: Cooking with Triffids (forthcoming).Fauna. OmgI hadn't spotted that. Maybe it was a tiny little deer
Yep, all of this. The way she speaks about this poor child actually boils my blood on a level with what she did to that poor terminally ill kitten. A happy healthy pregnancy & birth is a blessing beyond words, I don’t think for a minute women should not discuss their ailments and side effects and tbh a huge failing in post natal care is they tend to focus 100% on baby and very little on mum so there is value in discussing this stuff, but not in the context of depriving your child of nice things as you’re still resentful a decade on...? Yet again she misses the mark.She is truly awful about her child. Just awful. She ought to be grateful for a healthy child
So many of us have children that were not born healthy. So many people struggle to conceive and yearn to have a child but never do have one.
For a long time I have felt she is a truly shitty mother who is not above verbal abuse and manipulation of her child. Of course I have no proof, just a gut feeling based on her horrible tweets about her beautiful wee boy. She never hid his face in tabloid publications either and has subjected him to all the drama and upheaval her failed relationships over the years.
Professional writer here, fiction rather than n-f, Australia rather than the UK, but I've published hither and yon and am pretty sure this means she's signed a contract and been paid an advance. Advances here are usually split into two parts - half on signing, half on delivery of final manuscript, final ms meaning something essentially publication-ready, not some bs notes you've scratched out on your Nokia. If you fail to deliver, publisher can require you to return the first part of the advance. Size of advance is usually a function of projected sales, which would be calculated with some reference to sales of previous work as well as other market conditions & general blah blah.If something has already been commissioned, in book parlance does that mean she’s been paid some kind of retainer? Or advance or whatever?
Reminds me - I wonder what happened to all the people she apparently commissioned for the never-heard-of-again Healthy on a Bootstrap. Hope they didn't waste too much of their time. I imagine she got lots of ideas from their initial contributions for free though.If the poverty porn opus has been canned, I sincerely fucking hope she compensates the people who were good enough to share their stories with her.
She's trying to get a gig on Unherd.ETA sorry to duplicate @ChickenPorridge x

Is there anything she won’t try and claim? Let the poor fucking bloke and his article exist in peace ffs. This is also around 2.40am, another night on the dib dabs ey
Fauna??? What the fuck was in her finger?
Book 9: Ethical-ish.She loses her temper when anyone comments that something she's tweeted about isn't ethically sourced/plastic free/whatever so between that and her general, eh, output, it's difficult to imagine her writing an ethical consumer book that's properly researched unless it's a Veganish style nod to the lifestyle cash grab.
Surely you'd finish decorating them before you took the main photo? And why has she put an asterisk in the word 'Tarts'?
I’m not going to go too much into this article because he talks a lot about a lot of things and bounces all over the place with his points.She's trying to get a gig on Unherd.
Rarely seen anything so joyless.
