Certainly don’t disagree with what you say, but she has this overpowering need to brag about herself at every opportunity and thus couldn’t resist telling the world how efficient a writer she is. Just seems to me that if starting a brand new magazine, you’d want you writers to approach with a certain level of commitment and bragging as she did sets a bad precedent before things have even got started. And too the money thing: why say it? She’s deflecting the interest away from the mag and focusing it on herself, it’s mad. Because she can’t help herself. The credit where it’s due point is valid but she only gets these gigs on account of the lies she tells, it’s difficult to see what good she can offer the people that may be interested in that magazine.

I agree, let's not knock her when she's being less of a bellend. Heaven knows it's rare enough. Fair on her for doing something for free (although fair on fucking everybody she's swindled if they were to kick up a fuss about the fact she can actually afford to do something for free, mind)

Although yes, this too. The gesture is worth applauding, but not the way in which she's tweeted about it/centred herself and not the magazine in it.

I’ve organised supply and we used to blacklist agency staff and then the agency would try and sneak them back in after so long (hoping the booking staff would change).

Why is she always addressing housing conferences? Just as a token poor or what? She never, ever mentions housing except to wang on about how SHE RENTS and wants to buy.

I work in a fancy international school in a fancy city . I’ve never been offered money to speak at a conference, only lunch maybe. They are always desperate to get speakers. We have had quite famous academics/ authors to speak and they only get expenses like a hotel and flight tickets. She’ll be do it for the promise of exposure and to flog her books outside the venue, maybe.

She can't stop subtweeting tattlers, which is what drives this.

She can't help putting her foot in it. Yes, it's good that she is writing for them for free, but they're trying to launch a business via patreon and therefore want to present a high quality product worth subscribing to, not a platform for a couple of thousand words of unresearched, first draft, verbal diarrhoea from Mx Monroe.

I was just thinking about this "concern troll" email or perhaps overthinking as we only have Jack's word it actually exists. I'm sure everyone in the public eye gets crappy emails sent to their agents and I can only think of two scenarios where an email of that nature would be passed on to them, one being if contained a threat and the other being if it contained an allegation of some sort that the agent wanted a response to. I think in this case we can rule out a threat because lets face it we'd never hear the bloody end of it. That leaves an allegation, is it possible the letter related more to her begging and falsely presenting herself as poor than a TV blacklist? It would certainly partly explain all this weird boasting about work which is bumping the "You must believe I can't afford butter" content further and further down.

I'm here from the past and completely agree with this, and the follow up comments. I can see how someone in a vulnerable state might feel social media peer pressured to join in, and boom, it's out there on the internet for ever.

The planet account tweeted a full ass link to tattle today to one of Jack’s followers. Not sure if it’s already been mentioned.

Is it really credible that Jack's agent would forward an email to her - with that person's contact details on it, so Jack can find them?! No professional would do that.

And I think her list of "work" is ever so slightly exaggerated. She's done a 10 min web episode, and the rest is just vague "talks" and "asks" and waffle.

CCJs expire after six years. Jack's have a while to go. so they were acquired after she became a best selling author Was Jack prioritising Burberry over bills?

Interest fact. There is a pubic record of cjjs that anyone can access for £4, so if you think someone is lying about their financial situation you can check to see if they have any ccjs.

This is a general observation, I doubt if anyone here cba is to check on Jack.
