ANOTHER #buyastrangerabook day offer.

@lnr.bsky.social has sent me £20, to buy someone a book.

That's any book you'd like, not just the stuff on my website.

If there's a book you'd really like, just let us know.

Maybe we can help!

UK only.

#WritingTip: It’s easy to focus on all the writing goals you didn’t accomplish at the end of the day. Instead, focus on what you did get done and/or make a plan for your next writing day.

📚 Our August books are nearly here! From celebrating 150 years of Hibernian FC to poetry, short stories, kids’ historical fiction, adult literary fiction, biography, folklore, nature, history & film — there’s something for everyone.

Which will you read first? 👀 #NewBooks

Hello Bluesky! I’m a neurodivergent UK children’s author who thinks and talks too much and writes a mix of picture books, poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Looking forward to connecting with people who make and love books! #KidsBooksUK

Thank you for the fantastic review @sarahbroadley.bsky.social! 🧸💛

Look who's now on Bluesky! If you are a fan of stories inspired by traditional tales and local folklore, featuring marvellous monsters and clever heroes, give her a follow!

Absolutely DELIGHTED that Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody is on the UKLA longlists. This is one chosen by teachers, and I’ve been lucky enough to win it before with A Monster Calls. What a lovely surprise to wake up to.
