I was punched on the school bus. Being violently bullied changed me – and affected one of the biggest decisions of my life

The bullying began shortly after my fifth birthday. My family had moved from Dorset to a small village in Buckinghamshire. I started a new school in September, just before my third sister was born.

Remembering Dame Jilly Cooper

Hello Team CCC. It’s a week since we lost one of my all time favourite writers. If you’ve been following my work for any length of time, you might know how much I adored Dame Jilly Cooper. I’ve written a piece about the woman and her work, and I hope I’m able to show you how much she meant to me. Helicopters. Concorde. Sex. Shepherd’s pie. Champagne. More sex. Dresses that cost a month’s salary. Fracas. Bushes. Puns. Red knickers. No knickers at all. Dogs. Horses. Horses. Dogs. Art. Music. More sex. Lorca. Yeats.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Staff writer on the teen mag Bliss. It was the best job ever! I ghost wrote for pop stars and amassed a huge collection of Bieber merch.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Only when I'm forced into one of those bars where you have to drink your cocktails from jam jars.

How is social media changing news?

Quickly! Readers are setting the agenda, everything is moving at a lightning pace, and I think readers and writers feel equally engaged now.
