Thanks so much!

If you haven’t read #AFlashOfNeon yet by @sophiecameron.bsky.social you are really missing out! It made me think about the magic of storytelling in a completely different way. Buy it!! #ukkidlit #kidlituk

You are cordially invited to our Anti-Prime Sale, where every purchase will financially support bookstores, NOT billionaires 🥳

Writers! Note that AI translation (under the guise of "global access") is being seen/used as the weak point to get AI into publishing (possible bc Eng lang publishing is weak on translation). Stand with translators & for more human translation, fairly paid!

OMG an escape from the Realm @sophiecameron.bsky.social, A Flash Of Neon *is* a true story after all 😅

Ha, this is brilliant!

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has

One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

I work for Scottish Book Trust and we’re running a survey for parents/teachers/kids book enthusiasts about how they find books for kids. I’d be enormously grateful if anyone can spare 5-10 mins to share their thoughts. #KidLitUK

The internet keeps showing me these ads saying "we're looking for millennials who haven't exercised in YEARS" and I feel very called out

In honour of Hayao Miyazaki I've implemented the biggest update to the GenAI mute/block list in a few months. Clear your feed.

Let me know of any missed accounts and any false positive I might have swept up. I'm not perfect and happy to review mistakes.

Stunned to see that my debut Out of the Blue is on Kirkus's list of the Best Teen & YA Books of the 21st Century (So Far)! What a huge compliment to be featured alongside incredible books like A Monster Calls, Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and many others www.kirkusreviews.com/young-adult/...

This is such a sad loss – a phenomenal writer and by all accounts a wonderful person. Thinking of all of Alex's family and friends

My kids were setting out the rules for a game earlier and one specified "no eating tortilla de patatas while you play football". I want to know what he has witnessed to make that necessary

Always good when the authoritarian leader decrees who is and is not Jewish.

Writers of Bluesky! I'm on the lookout for some fresh new voices for middle grade readers. I love contemporary realistic stories but am happy to be swept away with something with fantasy elements too. All submission details are on our website www.skylark-literary.com/submission-guidelines 📚💕#MSWL

I'm on a deadline for my next book so of course I've become obsessed with planning my kids' birthday party. I absolutely must spend 2 hours designing invitations. It is necessary that I read 57 different chocolate cake recipes. The day will be ruined if I don't hand sew bunting.
