Today on our blog we begin our Debut Author series. We invited Farrah to share her reflections on her debut book The Twirly Wiggly Dance illustrated by Navya Raju and published by Oxford Children's Books sailfest.org.uk/sailfest-blog-… #debutauthor #dance #twirlywiggly

It's the end of 2024... here's what we've been up to! megaphonewrite.com/2024/12/16/yea…

There isn’t a trick to being an author. You: -read lots -write lots (not for output but to exercise writing muscles) -cry some -innovate in how you publish & sell -keep coming back to the fun of writing even when it sucks -find work & relationships that support you -chocolate

The Good Literary Agency I am so sorry to read this but what amazing things you achieved. We will miss you. I hope this industry takes to heart what Nikesh said: While we’re closing, and I’m devastated that we have to do this, we turn to the industry and ask you: what are you going to do now we’re not

Gutted to see this about The Good Literary Agency in The Bookseller. The Agency did such important work, which is very much still needed. And I know how tough redundancy is. Not sure what I can do, but do DM if you want to talk. #BookTwitter #PublishingIndustry thebookseller.com/news/the-good-…

Shocked. My heart goes out to everyone who will lose out from this - agents, writers, or others. I’m especially devastated for the under-represented writers who have recently signed with the agency. 6 years of ££ support for an innovative arts business is short-term thinking.

We are delighted to announce that the Greene Door Project is back! We are reopening applications from writers currently under-represented in publishing to receive a Zoom feedback session from a G&H Agent! Follow the link below to read more: greeneheaton.co.uk/the-greene-door

I'm working on something in light of the good literary agency's demise. Writers of colour hold on to hope and keep writing your stories. The world needs them more than ever!

✨ New Year, New Cover Reveal ✨ We’re so excited to share our first cover reveal of the year, The Night Forest, by Polly Ho-Yen & illustrated by Sojung Kim-McCarthy, coming in April 2025!

A lovely quote from my agent Chloe Seager

Another wonderful book from Maisie - congratulations to all involved!

This is such very sad news. Alex Wheatle was a kind and warm supporter of Megaphone, a great person and a great writer, and we are so sorry to have lost him. My thoughts and deep sympathy to his family and loved ones. xxx
