It’s exactly one month since Secrets of the Snakestone slithered into the world! I’ve been overwhelmed by the love shown to this sneaky little book, so to celebrate I’m posting some of the lovely reviews ssso far…

🐍💎✨✨

Thank you, Becs, it’s true! Artemis is out and anarchy is afoot. It’s all Amber Caraveo 🌻😻🌻 ‘s and Barry Cunningham ‘s fault!

Happy publication day Sharada Keats 📕!

These Stolen Lives is a suspenseful, deeply moving debut dystopia that asks, what is a life truly worth?

This incredibly powerful book is out today 💙 #TheseStolenLives

There are just five days left to apply for the Children's Books North Mentoring Scheme! If you are based in the North of England or Scotland and interested in a career in publishing and would benefit from advice from industry professionals, you should apply!

7,000 words and a synopsis to tweak! 🙌🏾 #amwriting

Some nice things from my first school visits in March 😊

Looking forward to getting back on the road after launch on 4th July!

I am seated.

Or standing, I'm easy.

In light of *that* announcement today, I’d like to remind folks of some middle grade books which have authentic disability & chronic illness representation from authors with lived experience.

And where disabilities are NOT used to portray villains.

Feel free to add more!

Comma Press welcomes HOME’s decision to reinstate ‘Voices of Resilience.’

A full statement will be available on our blog in due time.

Thank you to all who have spoken out in support over the past week, your voices have not gone unnoticed ❤️

I found out about this book around a month ago by sheer chance, and it seems to have gone under the radar a bit! So I have to shout loudly about this excellent YA. We're only just into Q2 but, I'm calling it, you'll be hard pressed to find a stronger YA debut this year.

When I tell them about my journey to writing The Boy to Beat the Gods! 🙌🏿⚡️
