Clotted cream or Oreo for me please!

I have enjoyed some of Tom Fletcher’s books but for me, it’s the level of advertising they automatically get which I find so unfair. Their books will no doubt sell regardless & yet they get onto tv & billboards etc. I’ve read a lot of stinkers from celeb authors too tbf.

‘Richard Osman made £10m, but I  got £250 last year’: How much money novelists really make The big hitters of the literary world draw headlines for their book deals. But the reality of writing fiction for a living is an altogether less lucrative existence

None of this will be a surprise to writers, but an interesting overview piece about writers and money (nb the way they explain earning out/royalties is a bit off but everything else seems sound). inews.co.uk/culture/book...

Words can’t describe how truly magnificent & epic Small Wonder is - a masterpiece from @rossmontgomery.bsky.social 🐎 Is it possible to win the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year 2 yrs in a row? Thanks @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social 📖
