#ChildreninRead #ChildreninNeed

Things I'd like the judges to look for: books that break the mould and do surprising things with form, books that challenge expectations and kick against the pricks generally, books that bring kids pure joy and excitement. Books kids act out in games. Books kids create fanart and fanfic of.

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents?
I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.
This code is both cruel and unworkable.
Please write to your MP.

DEBUT JOURNEYS Sarah Harrison Words and Pictures is the online magazine of SCBWI British Isles.

I caught up with @sarahharrison.bsky.social for @scbwi-bi.bsky.social Words&Pics about #schoolofdoom! She had a long road to publication until winning the Times/Chicken House prize. Her advice is spot on to new writers: "be authentic...be witty, silly, strange, clever, just be you"!

Reading is a radical act. Every time a child picks up a book, new possibilities open up that were not there before. And it has the biggest positive impact of all factors on children's life chances! Every time you help a kid to read for pleasure, you will change their lives FOREVER. #literacy #books

The pressure to publish more and faster was one of the most frustrating things about working in publishing. If I could say ONE thing to the publishing industry about how to make things better, it would be this: do not publish anything you are not going to support well with marketing.

We're having to move distributors by the end of March.

Don't ask, but corporates being corporate.

It is going to cost a bit and a half.

If you are able to help cushion the blow.

You can buy some excellent books here:

Thank you.
