Unsolicited writing advice, no. 18167:
There is no "typical reader," just as there is no "typical writer." Your first responsibility is to yourself; to create the most honest, well-written, carefully-researched story you can. Finding readers comes later.

Can I come and stay 😅

Insta notifications is the main reason I struggle using that app I think! Annoys me that they’re so random and not in order

Great thread! Food for thought

Total washout for my mum at a craft market today. Gale force winds, torrential rain and now apparently there’s thunder and lightning too

ZERO customers. I feel bad 🙈

At least she’s inside….?!?!

It’s #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek in Scotland this week and in the rest of the UK next week. As a dyslexic reader myself I wanted to use #KidsBooksFriday this week to celebrate brilliant, accessible and super-readable texts of all kinds.

The Shoe Creeper book is out now!

I’m beyond excited to share that ‘The Shoe Creeper’ is OUT NOW!!

‘The Shoe Creeper’ is a MG Horror story with an original monster, and it’s based in Seaton (Devon, England), which is somewhere I love to visit.

I’m currently listening to the audio of the third book in the Fourth Wing series 😃

Happy book launch day to @ianhcreates.bsky.social

I’m thrilled to see 2 comics on this year’s #WorldBookDay lists. A lot of folk don’t know where to start with comic books, so for this week’s #KidsBooksFriday, what kids comic books might folk not already know about but should definitely go and seek out? #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit #KidsGN📚💬
