Thrilled to see GLADIATOR, GODDESS by @morganowen.bsky.social reviewed in @theguardian.com today. 'A bold, bloody, riotous sapphic romantasy.'

I was just thinking the other day, if a tech company popped up and promised it would never add any AI to anything, I would switch everything to them in a heartbeat... Anyone know one?

‘We have to tell an alternative story’: Green leader Polanski chats to Nigel Farage’s constituents Visit to Clacton-on-Sea part of social media strategy that Zack Polanski feels can rebut Reform’s rhetoric

People are exhausted.

Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved.

Blaming migrants won’t fix this.

Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services.

This book has had me on the edge of my seat for the past two hours. Beautifully gothic & horrifically macabre, this book is not for the faint-hearted. I have never felt such fear for a character before. I never saw the ending coming

Probably going to have nightmares 10/10 experience

Could we crowd source an empathy boosting reading list for this govt please...I don't think any of them are reading enough, they've lost all sense of compassion and humanity

Absolutely thrilled that INKBOUND by @prleathley.bsky.social has been announced as the @waterstones.bsky.social @waterstoneskids.bsky.social Children's Book of the Month for September

Register to attend — SAIL Fest UK SAIL Festival is held at the British Library on Friday 6th September. You can register to attend in person or for the live stream.

Book folk!!! Have you heard of SAIL Fest UK? It's a one-day event to "open up the discussions about the barriers and possibilities of South Asian children’s books in the UK" and will feature a bunch of amazing writers (and me): #KidLitUk #UKKidLit

Remembered I muted T****'s name when I set up my bluesky which is why I'm seeing lots of vague allusions to a rumour without any concrete rumor/info. It all felt a bit surreal before I realised.

@bbc5live.bsky.social it is shocking how much time you are giving this man who owns a luxury hotel and clearly has a Reform agenda.

Happy publication day to the paperback edition of INKBOUND: METICULOUS JONES AND THE SKULL TATTOO by @prleathley.bsky.social

If your business model can't survive obeying the law, then there's a problem with your business model...

People love it

Here is my 8th creation for alternative reads to David Walliams, this time focusing on The Beast of Buckingham Palace. These are ones I’ve particularly enjoyed but what else would you add? #kidlituk

This is why all the talk of whether it's accurate (it isn't), whether it's plagiarism (it is) etc are irrelevant.

We very literally cannot afford to use LLM 'AI's if we want a liveable future.

The ease with which techbros have bribed our gov into ignoring every scrap of evidence is terrifying

What a brilliantly imaginative debut novel from @prleathley.bsky.social !! #Inkbound Gripped from page one I loved the characters, the world building - this will be a stunning series with so much to explore - and I cannot wait for book 2. I absolutely loved it! @rabbits21.bsky.social
