I got called “inspirational” the other day…. because I got on a train. I know people mean well. Sometimes it comes from awkwardness, or not knowing what to say, but it isn’t a compliment. #disabled #disability #inspiration #representationmatters #crps #languagematters

I had the privilege of delivering the keynote speech for The Pokemon Company as part of Disability Pride Month What a brilliant conversation with such a genuine team! We covered everything from visibility to barriers - and most importantly, why disability is something that we can find pride in

Sorry to be so late posting a great Q&A from @daniellebrown.bsky.social about her latest title: Shoot for the Stars (illustrated by Jayde Perkin and Filigrana de Ideas) @littletigeruk.bsky.social teenlibrarian.co.uk/2025/07/17/s... #KidLitUK

It’s always a bit nerve-racking when you release a new book because you don’t know how it will land until it’s out there 📖 Well, we smashed it! Check out some of the lovely reviews we’ve had. Huge thank you to everyone who have shared such lovely feedback on Shoot for the Stars Always grateful 🙏

Empowering and full of information #ShootForTheStars @daniellebrown.bsky.social @littletigeruk.bsky.social is #RedReadingHub’s book of the day reviewed now on the blog

It's publication day for #ShootForTheStars by @daniellebrown.bsky.social illustrated by Jayde Perkin & Filigrana de Ideas! Full of encouragement and inspiration, it shows girls just how much they can do. @littletigeruk.bsky.social #UKKidLit #KidLitUK scopeforimagination.co.uk/2025/07/03/s...

Yay! Shoot for the Stars is now out! I am super excited. This is the book I wanted growing up and has been inspired by talking to girls about the challenges they face getting into sport. I really hope it helps lots of young people build confidence and have fun in sports

One week to go until Shoot for the Stars is out 💫 I poured my heart into this book and I really hope it helps girls stay in sport, feel confident and have fun playing. If you are looking for an empowering, inspiring handbook for tackling all the highs and lows of sport this is for you

Come on a speech with me… I recently had the honour of delivering the after dinner speech at @the_cisi Guernsey Annual Gala. A spectacular evening and it was great to share the highs, lows and nail biting moments that have shaped my journey so far.

Thank you for such a lovely review - such a privilege getting to write about a topic close to my heart and your feedback is awesome

A wonderful afternoon at the Buckingham Palace garden party with my Dad. Cucumber sandwiches on the lawn, a walk around the lake and front row seats to meet the King and Queen. Thanks to the Royal Commonwealth Society for nominating me

Happy World Book Day 📖 I am super excited to hear that kids want to come to school dressed as their favourite athletes from Run Like A Girl! It’s amazing to hear the impact that the stories are having on children and I can’t wait to see the photos 💕 Have an awesome day! #wbd2025 #worldbookday

📣 HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! 🐍 It's COVER REVEAL TIME! I'm proud to present my new novel 🏮NATE YU'S BLAST FROM THE PAST 💥 out June 12th. The wonderful cover art is by Simone Douglas @SimsDougie Published by @PiccadillyPress

Disability representation in children’s books is too low. Books are a great way to experience all the different aspects of life and it goes a long way when you find people just like you on the pages. I make sure that disabled people are represented - equally - alongside the role models I spotlight 💡

Excited to be reading from #RunLikeAGirl on 27 Jan 📖 Reading for Life is a brilliant project, bringing together inclusion and reading - two things close to my heart 💕 It would be awesome if you’d like to come along - and please tag in parents and teachers #kidsbooks #disabledauthor #edu #author

It never gets old seeing your book out in the wild 💕

I love taking some time to reflect on New Year’s Eve. 2024 has been another epic year, filled with good moments, horrible moments and everything in between. I’ve travelled to new places, made some life-changing decisions, and ticked off exciting milestones 📚🥇

What a lovely night at Tettenhall College last night! I spoke at their Sports Awards about the reality behind success, role models and resilience. It was great to give out some well deserved awards to students and meet some very talented up and coming athletes

One inspirational speech at Cheltenham College delivered! I love the adrenaline rush of being out on the stage. There’s nowhere to hide, you have to be perfect - and it’s super rewarding being able to connect with students and inspire them to dream big, give maximum effort and never give up

This floofball is totally here for the cuddles, not eyeing up my lunch 👀 Honestly though, the best part about working from home is it’s always Bring Your Dog to Work Day. Would not change it 🥰 #dog #rescuedog #rescuesofinstagram #bringyourdogtoworkday #wfh

Which is your favourite? Managed to sneak in a couple of bonus About the Author chapters in #RunLikeAGirl and #GirlsRule which meant I got some brilliant illustrations done of me 🥰 So which do you prefer? Athlete or Advocate?

Here's the full length interview I did with Sky Sports on retirement from sport. The mission of the Real Talk series is to reduce the stigma and educate on topics often overlooked by the media. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhyB...

I recently got asked if I’m disappointed that people now know me as an author not athlete Being an author is something I always dreamed of and I’m lucky that my career in sport has helped me achieve this. I talk about this in a world archery feature www.worldarchery.sport/news/201537/....

Check out my latest accolade: Author of the Week from Herbert Morrison School! The school encourages children to enjoy writing and calls them authors. They choose an Author of the Week - it’s usually a child but this week I get the honour as they have been studying Run Like A Girl

Run like a Girl: 50 Extraordinary and Inspiring Sportswomen introduced us to so many amazing women, many who have overcome disability or injury to succeed. It's a fabulous celebration of #girlpower 🏃‍♀️ #InternationalWomansDay #InternationalWomensDay #UKKidLit #KidlitUK

World Book Day and International Women’s Day are in the same week. I was totally made for this By sharing diverse stories of women from diverse backgrounds, my hope was to show girls that there is a world of possibility, a place for them to thrive and reach their potential

In The Guardian talking about glass ceilings, gold medals and #GirlsRule! Great to be able to share my inspiration behind the books I write and how role models break down barriers www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

What I’m learning from editing✍️ I don’t know how to use a comma! Seriously, they’ve been taken out and added in all over the place When I work with young people I tell them not to worry about grammar, just to get words down on the paper and have some fun. I totally practice what I preach

For National Storytelling Week I’m teaming up with Children Today Charity to talk about the power of inclusion in stories On 31 Jan I’ll read from #GirlsRule and #RunLikeAGirl and share my inspiration behind writing them - and you can join for free! events.teams.microsoft.com/event/826e5c...

Attempting to nail this writing thing ✍️ Deadlines to hit so I’m all set up with coffee, snacks and notes - because the best thinking involves scribbling #writing #amwriting #author #authorsofinstagram #wip #coffee #snacks #deadline

Can’t believe Girls Rule has been out for a month 🌟 My favourite comment so far is: The ´inspirational’ genre is expanding fast and I approach these books now with a critical eye. For me, this one passed the ‘worth investment’ test Thank you to everyone who has got a copy and supported me on this

Late off the mark but I loved working with the Ability team at ITN to launch their employee network. It was great to share the stage, and learn from, my fellow panellists. I am grateful for any opportunity I get to speak about nurturing ability in the workplace rather than seeing disability

Today is definitely being fuelled by coffee ☕️

It was a privilege to be the Guest of Honour at IB School’s Annual Celebration Day 🇮🇳 Very impressed to see dance being used to connect with STEM, sport and culture. Got to meet some talented, smart and funny young people, and talk about how we can become unstoppable with the right dream and support
