I'm gutted about the Blue Peter Book of the Year Awards. We've lost so many fantastic prizes that championed children's books & helped people to find them: the Smarties, the Guardian, the Costa/Whitbread, and now this. It's heart-breaking for children's books - and for children.

A FREE masterclass with Charlotte Maslen and Golden Egg Academy. This is too good to miss! I can’t wait 🥰

Best of luck to everyone shortlisted!

Imogen’s 12-week course is amazing! 🤩 Sign up this week!
