Worthwhile. Got my first newsletter today - very good summary.

Delighted to see another positive review about #BloodLines esp. the comment "Unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library cancer and medical issues..." #cancer #poetry #AML #bloodcancer #ScottishPoetry #newbook #creativewriting #haematology #oncology

Yes, finally an update... the last few months haven't gone to plan. Will do a Caring Bridge one in due course. julietrobertson.substack.com/p/blood-line... #BloodLines #Cancer #poetry #poetry #AML #bloodcancer #ScottishPoetry #newbook #creativewriting #haematology #oncology #BooksThatMatter

This is a brilliant book and every school needs a copy... challenges a lot of myths and assumptions but positive about changes in practice.

As part of @mathsweek.scot there is an adult (any adult) and a secondary school category for writing fibs. Entries can be submitted 1st Sep to 3 October 2025. More detail in the weblink mathsweek.scot/schools/math... #poetry #competition #ScottishPoetry

Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

Honoured to have a short piece about belonging in mathematics in the current Classroom Corridors resource from @ncte.org #MTBoS

Extremely excited to share this article. Co-authors include 6 year olds, @toniagray.bsky.social & @pasisahlberg.bsky.social The children’s insights on nature and nature play are profound. You may like it @ahargreaves.bsky.social @srincongallardo.bsky.social @creativestar.bsky.social rdcu.be/ezhlo

Many thanks to Thomas Tosh @Thornhill for organising the Blood Lines book launch & Tabitha Mudaliar for the thoughtful conversation. I dressed up for the occasion and may be unrecognisable as a result! #BloodLines #cancer #cancerpoetry #poetry #AML #bloodcancer #ScottishPoetry

“A brilliant book!” 📚 ✨ Another wonderful review of #ItsMoreThanFlagsandRainbows by @itimbrell.bsky.social – thank you @creativestar.bsky.social! This comprehensive & personable guide to establishing truly inclusive schools is out now! Available at: buff.ly/yKlHGrH @itlworldwide.bsky.social

I'm delighted to see this book being published. I'm hoping to publish a blog post about why those who work outside really need to dig deep and rethink approach with fresh eyes rather than assuming all is good on equity and inclusion outside.

Proud to have helped both these amazing books become a reality through the Independent Thinking Press @creativestar.bsky.social @jazampawfarr.bsky.social @crownhousepub.bsky.social

Thank you. I'm delighted. Many people have fed back to me about #BloodLines and their own experiences of facing cancer, losing a loved one to cancer or being a carer. Both @jazampawfarr.bsky.social book and mine are about going through adversity and life long impact of this. x

Sue Burge mentored me through the process of writing Blood Lines. Many thanks to her and countless other poets, friends and family x

My absolute privilege to read this book, let alone endorse it.

You are so right, Juliet. Your book is an inspiration! @thinktalkleah.bsky.social @juliesargent.bsky.social
