I’d rather have ten fillings than plot a book. I find the whole exercise excruciating. But here I am, creating a chapter breakdown. Annoyingly, I know it will help.
Pah.

My first read of the year has been Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls. My goodness the man is a GENIUS.

I have NEWS! I have a brand new book with the mighty Barrington Stoke! THE BOY IN THE TREE, illustrated by Katie Lear, is out next May.

Touching on themes of environmental activism and parental separation, THE BOY IN THE TREE is a portrayal of the challenges of adjusting to a new family dynamic.

Hello! Reposting a thread of starter packs to help anyone spending their Sunday trying to find UK children’s book people. Most are being updated so if you checked them before, you may find new additions. #kidlitUK
These two are (mainly) UK children's authors

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

I bought a little carved owl in an antiques shop today. He’s not only handsome but extremely contented.

I've been awake since five, am currently meant to be working on my third writing project of the day, and yet seem to be here wondering how you get started and feeling like an awkward new girl. Bookish, and other lovely people - hello.

As well as posting photos of my dog, I’ll also be sharing my thoughts on writing.
Writing is 99% silencing those voices in your head saying YOU CAN’T DO THIS. And doing it anyway. It’s the hardest.

My publisher does. And I get a mix of requests directly or via other publishers.
