I can't wait for the hackalong! Just hoping no drains are clogged or houses burnt down in the process.
Jack's first agent allegedly stole three years' worth of royalties from her, so presumably after that Allegra helped her out.Morning. I'm sure this is old news. However, JM and Allegra are represented by the same agent. Not just the same agency, but the same person. Makes you think.
It's because those people at private school who own horses and multiple homes mix in circles where they ARE the poorer ones, so they think themselves to be less well off than they are. They know people with a yacht, but they don't have a yacht, they must just be middle class and the people with the yacht are upper class. But people with yachts are super wealthy. There's a new class of super-wealthy that a lot of upper class people don't want to recognise, so they see themselves as middle, or even working, class.I completely agree with this. Middle class is such a wide spectrum - where I grew up middle class was a large semi, with a holiday abroad and two cars etc. (economically middle class) but then I went to university and met what I still think as posh people - private school, everyone had the accent despite coming from all over the country, horses, second homes, wine cellars etc. - and confusingly these people also identify as middle class!
Agreed, she's vile and entitled. Also belongs in prison. Sick of her shite.I think she can't shock me any more, but in the poverty lingers in a septic wound article she nonchalantly mentions throwing a book at a publishing employee's head.
She is vile
Honestly, a lot of authors think people in publishing companies are their underlings, and do treat them absolutely appalling. It's nearly always the middle of the road set too, the people with one or two big books, who came to fame quickly and suddenly.I think she can't shock me any more, but in the poverty lingers in a septic wound article she nonchalantly mentions throwing a book at a publishing employee's head.

duck sake Jack, it’s hardly Colonel Tom Parker kinda stuff, is it?Jack's first agent allegedly stole three years' worth of royalties from her, so presumably after that Allegra helped her out.
Here is the post about the theft, in which Jack begs for money in probably the most cringeworthy way yet: https://web.archive.org/web/2020080...2018/05/29/poverty-lingers-in-a-septic-wound/
Consider the fact that Jack's agent stole all her royalties from 2015 - 2018.
The blurb for Cooking on a Bootstrap, released in 2018, claims that A Girl Called Jack sold "almost 60.000 copies". We know that A Year in 120 Recipes was far less successful.
Jack claims to have earned 30 - 50 grand in royalties in three years, from 2015 - 2018 (so starting a year after the initial release of A Girl Called Jack, when presumably it sold the most copies because there was a lot of media coverage).
In light of the fact that Jack also claims to earn a maximum of 22p per book sold, we can conclude that either Jack is really, really bad at maths or...

The writing in that piece is particularly atrocious. I genuinely find it difficult to stomach.I think she can't shock me any more, but in the poverty lingers in a septic wound article she nonchalantly mentions throwing a book at a publishing employee's head.

exactly this. Not to myself further but I work in public service job so, as you can imagine, I’m not rolling in cash. But my job also affords me the opportunity to meet the people who are really at the sharp end. I visited a family recently in a small flat with 3 young kids (2 with some complex needs), on a properly depressing estate just set back from a dual carriageway. Dad works as a hospital cleaner doing night shifts and mum has to be home for kids.I think Jack fell into this trap. She was middle class until she met Allegra. Until then, middle class was fine, she was better than all those people watching Jeremy Kyle and wearing tracksuits. But then Allegra's circle made it clear that she was still bottom of the totem pole. So, instead of acknowledging these people are incredibly wealthy and being middle class wasn't enough, she's decided she's working class because then she can blame that for why they dislike her, it's discrimination, not just that she's a wanker.
The most hilarious thing in that whole blog is that Jack asked people to send her emails to tell her the good she has done for them, because she ‘reads every email’! I amJack's first agent allegedly stole three years' worth of royalties from her, so presumably after that Allegra helped her out.

If you're in your 60s then you should know that renting is more precarious than buying because, err, you read your rental contracts and you know the law about being evicted. So why would you pay that much money to decorate a place you can be asked to leave? Makes absolutely no sense.
I cashed in my pension and got a loan to pay for everything from a new kitchen to underfloor heating, new bathroom and white goods
Woah there Neddy. You’ve actually eaten actual Mary Berry cake actually baked by actual Mary Berry? Do you now have superpowers? (Can you fly? Have you checked?) Or is it limited to a perfectly risen magical ring of protection?Mary Berry was an absolute delight. Honestly, just the loveliest. Asked how everyone was doing, brought in cakes.
Petition to change Jacks name to “Monwoe”Recap: Jack has been quiet but is still promoting Grifty Kitchen, due for release in January. The book was promoted by Waterstones on Twitter with a 50% discount (read: they can't give it away) and received a lot of negative comments about Jack's scams, lies, and Patreon. Meanwhile, Awfullymolly launched a new website with a more detailed, systematic overview of Jack's grifting.
Still no Patreon rewards. Still no VBI. Jack wheeled out Content the dog for, uh, content (distraction) and made a nasty little comment about "funding" SB as if he isn't her own child
The poor art director. I imagine going to your work and getting assaulted by a spoiled moron like Jack Monroe. You wouldn't even be able to comfort yourself that you'd been attacked by some temperamental genius whilst bringing a great book out.
