I doubt you're capable of embarrassment judging by most of your output here.

Makes a claim and can't back it is with peer reviewed data. Fail.Can't, all I remember is it was on The Hard Shoulder 2 to 3 months ago.

Never heard of those, no booker there, she aint no Sally Rooney, Enda O Brien or even Binchy. Most of those awards are for childrens books and she should stick to that genre as in my opinion she has not the maturity or indeed the gravitas for serious literature.So short listing for the booker is the only sign of a writer now, is it?

I'm published. Do ya think anyone gives a fuck?On a slightly more serious note, I wouldn't be a massive fan of this Louise character and I have to admit that I haven't read any of her stuff. Seen a couple of paragraphs, probably on here (!!). Too millennial for me; too cynical as well, tbh. She sounds like she's writing almost entirely about issues, and I prefer my literature to be about writing first and foremost.
BUT, and as you can see it's a big 'but', being a published and successful author counts for very little on the PRoC. Very little for all of us unpublished and unsuccessful authors who post shite on here 24/7.
To be fair, your ignorance of literary prizes is not her issue!Never heard of those, no booker there, she aint no Sally Rooney, Enda O Brien or even Binchy
Booker as in Booker cash and carry?Never heard of those, no booker there, she aint no Sally Rooney, Enda O Brien or even Binchy. Most of those awards are for childrens books and she should stick to that genre as in my opinion she has not the maturity or indeed the gravitas for serious literature.
What did you think of Normal People?Never heard of those, no booker there, she aint no Sally Rooney, Enda O Brien or even Binchy. Most of those awards are for childrens books and she should stick to that genre as in my opinion she has not the maturity or indeed the gravitas for serious literature.
