The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic inspired Locked Down Bubbling Up self-published in 2020, a collection of poems and short stories completed by two Irish poets and myself, without ever physically meeting. ...more

Mark’s Recent Updates

Mark Rice added a status update: This week is pitching week, as I move from writing mode to marketing mode. I have just dispatched my first Query Letter and I am braced for the feedback, be it good and not-so-good. The main thing is that it's an honest commercial literary opinion. Fingers crossed let the game of publication begin.
