If you’re looking for wonderful YA and MG stories for tween/teen Christmas stockings … here are a few my 12 year old daughter adored this year 🌲📚 LoveOzMG #LoveOzYA

Happy new year! Wishing you and yours all the best in 2023.

Submissions are open today for our general AND kids list. In autumn, our brilliant kids team are looking for new and emerging illustrators and illustrator-designers to work across all facets of children’s book illustration. Head to our website for all the details.

Things that people do in books a lot that they don’t do as much in real life: - address people by name/title - let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding - wink - fall in love

Calling all neurodivergent speakers! Fed up seeing only NTs given platforms to teach others & speak about what it means to be ND & what's best for us?👀 Well, I'm thinking about building a promotional list of us to shove under noses! If you're keen to be included let me know.😁

💥ANNOUNCEMENT TIME💥 I'm privileged to have a book in a new Collins Big Cat series starring ND kids out in September! We have gymnastics, high stakes, close calls & brilliant friends. Can't wait for you to meet my gorgeous Billie, illustrated by the INCREDIBLE Jacinta (likes to) Read (write, and draw).😍

I'd like to do my thing of gifting a class/teacher a full free class set of whatever their novel is when they get back to school. So what is your first class novel? Which year? Why? I'll pick someone and send them your way so your year gets off to a ripper. RTs appreciated.

My book is out today! Scar Town is my longest journey from idea to finished book. It's older than most of its readers. It's almost older than me. I'd LOVE you to help spread word about the book if you can! Here's the brand new book trailer: youtu.be/BDd_26kuR2Q #booktrailer

Just read the first book in this wonderful contemporary MG series, The Swallowtail Legacy series by Michael D Beil. Unputdownable!!! Loved the main character, Lark, and the exciting ending. Holiday House Publishing, Inc.

I usually stick to bookish matters here, but if you’re friends with any Australian early childhood educators or work in the field, I’d love help in finding participants for this 15-minute online survey designed to give us info to help educators support children’s maths learning.

Happy UK book birthday to The Bravest Word!🥳 🎉 🍻 💕 🐕 I'm so proud of this story. Written at first as therapy, I realised it could be lifechanging for others. Depression is so much more than simply feeling sad & we must all recognise the early signs.🙏 #MentalHealthAwareness
