OK so I have found the inspo for my Authorfy Xmas party outfit this year and here it is...

UK Schools, international schools, libraries, festivals, it's hard to put into words how available I am next January & February, but I'm a writer so I've had a go anyway. This is what I've come up with.

Only 13 original pieces left from this book, get in quick if you’d like something 🙂

It was lovely to chat to The Reading Realm about #ASwiftReturn ☺️ If you haven't seen our book, you can get hold of a copy here uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-swif… It's reduced at the moment too!

Kicking off #NNFN2024 with a competition to win a whole-school #ImpossibleQuestions assembly! Teachers, governors, parents... pass this postcard to the most curious class you know, to enter their questions! (Click here for a live link version!) canva.com/design/DAFPSBX…

Just sent off some edits for a new thing which I think might be the best thing I've ever worked on - can't wait to share it!!

Did you know? The story of Setsuko and the Song of the Sea was partly inspired by the Ama-San — Japanese women renowned for their diving skills. Written by @fi_BGB and illustrated by Howard Gray the book is available now 👉 amzn.to/4hv10Ie #JapaneseCultureDay

If your school/library would like to win a copy of both books in the London Falling series AND a free virtual visit from me, please RT & tag 2 fellow teachers/librarians. UK only. Closes 8/11 midnight Good luck Tiny Tree Books 📕 #Giveaway #Competition #edutwitter #library #schools

Just a bookseller, standing here, pleading journos to remember that children's books can and should be included in your book of the year round ups 💕

Are you an author looking to engage with bloggers and reviewers here on #booktwitter? May I offer a few tips on how to encourage us to review your book? A thread. 1/7

As Frank Cottrell-Boyce says in the article, the solution is in our hands. Stop closing libraries. Retain school librarians and employ many more. Fund author visits to schools. Publishers, stop throwing cash at celebrities and focus instead on engaging young readers. We can fix this.

I am talking about this and how we could approach investigating and reversing this at the upcoming NAWE conference this weekend 👍 It's online so you can bring along a cup of tea and a choccie biccie while you listen! nawe.co.uk/writing-in-edu…

If you’re feeling helpless, like you can’t make a difference, perhaps consider the path I’m taking: go more local I doubt I can make an impact globally or even nationally - especially here on the Internet - but I hope I can cheer up a few people in my community from time to time

Huge fun with my bestie today ignoring the news and making something lovely Thank you to the wonderful The Licky Cow Gallery for your patience and careful instruction 🤗

Exciting #bookpost to cheer me up today 🥳🤫 Scholastic UK
