Happy publication day to the fab YA graphic novel #EveythingAmplified by Sarah Lippett & Ziggy Hanaor. It has been a pleasure to work on as both of them are talented (look at those endpapers) AND nice people. You can pick up signed copies at @goshcomics.bsky.social and @portybookfest.bsky.social

Nice to catch up with lots of publicists at @publicitycircle.bsky.social drinks this evening. Although I did discover the Christmas party clashes with a book launch sadly

Heading home after a successful evening at @goshcomics.bsky.social to launch #EverythingAmplified. If you love contemporary YA graphic novels check it out and you can grab your signed copies from @goshcomics.bsky.social now. Listen to the fab accompanying playlist too (QR code in book)

Heading into London, off to @goshcomics.bsky.social to the book launch for graphic novel Everything Amplified by Sarah Lippett and Ziggy Hanaor. It is published by Cicada Books next week and I've been working on the PR campaign

My youngest has requested to do an activity inspired by a book we recently borrowed from the library #EatYoutPeople. It isn't eating people in case you were wondering!

Heading home after the launch for Dr Bot by @crblease.bsky.social this evening at @yalebooks.bsky.social yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300.... A great turnout, wine and conversation were flowing and lots of books were signed and sold. Fab first book launch of my new(ish) job

Piece in the @dailymail.co.uk today — a generous review of my new book #DrBot. Change in medicine is inevitable, but as I argue, it must be thoughtful, ethical, and patient-centred. www.dailymail.co.uk/home/books/a... Check it out!

Debate is brewing... glad that my essay on AI in medicine is among the most read in The Guardian's Books section today: Welcome constructive feedback! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

September book of the month for fiction is #EverythingAmplified on @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social

I think positive stories, hope and ideas for changes are so important at the moment so do check out this upcoming book Empathy in Politics and Leadership. Hopefully lots of people will read it and learn as it's great to work with leaders who show empathy

"this book firmly belongs in YA collections, where I am sure it will be highly in demand." Check out the full review of #EverythingAmplified from @vonprice.bsky.social. It's published later this month

"Sometimes, the stories that impact on you aren’t the big, cinematic adventures but those that are much closer to home" a great opening line in the new review of #EverythingAmplified from @jacquisydney.bsky.social

If any reviewers are keen to get a copy of #EverythingAmplified then you can sign up through Pride Book Tours now www.instagram.com/p/DNF-leYNxI...

I think this is one lots of people should be adding to their TBR, especially anyone who loves graphic novels, contemporary YA, and music related stories! #EverythingAmplified

Opening today at @thestorymuseum.bsky.social is a new gallery The Story Arcade - find out more and book tickets here www.storymuseum.org.uk/explore/the-...

Big congratulations to all of #TheBooksellerRisingStars, love this list and very happy my @publicitycircle.bsky.social mentee features (although it's all her own hard work nothing to do with me!)

Final bumper issue of Reading Matters from @librarylady.bsky.social includes a recommendation for How to be Disabled and Proud (or at least sorta ok with it …) written by @cathyreay.bsky.social, illustrated by @skietchy.bsky.social. Plus details of The Story Arcade at The Story Museum and lots more.

Exciting that advances of Everything Amplified starting to arrive with reviewers. If you want to know more about this YA graphic novel get in touch or link with more info here uk.bookshop.org/p/books/ever...

I Flew Across the World and lots of other STEM packed choices

I am working on Everything Amplified, a graphic novel coming in September by Sarah Lippett and Ziggy Hanaor. We should have advances for soon. If any reviewers or media who covers graphic novels or YA wants to know more get in touch as I am sorting the mailing uk.bookshop.org/p/books/ever...

@savidgereads.bsky.social I wanted to send you details of an upcoming graphic novel to see if you'd be interested in reviewing, as you've reviewed previous books by the creator. What would be the best way to send details? Thanks

Happy #IndieBookshopWeek. I am not sure I am going to get to an indie bookshop this weekend while solo parenting so I ordered some books I've been planning to get through Hive. I might order some more this weekend if I don't make it to a bookshop near my parents

The scenery in the Isle of Sky stands in for Canada, one of the secrets from the making of Walking of Dinosaurs shared by Helen Thomas co-author of the new Walking with Dinosaurs book www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r...

Had a fantastic night catching up with so many friends and contacts for the 10th anniversary party of The Clockwork Sparrow by @katherinewoodfine.bsky.social. Cannot believe it's been 10 years since the launch and nice to hear how much the books have meant to people over that time and their impact

Loved the display of @katherinewoodfine.bsky.social books last night at @batterseabookshop.bsky.social and now have signed and stamped copies of both books

New review from @librarylady.bsky.social "The writing style is warm and chatty ... really makes you think about attitudes and stereotypes and is recommended for secondary school libraries in particular as it would be invaluable for that transition phase of children’s lives" check out the full review

New review of YOU Decide YOUR Adventure from @vonprice.bsky.social "I would highly recommend that primary and secondary school librarians add ... to their collections, and to parents/caregivers I would suggest that this could make an excellent summer holiday present for children aged 9 and above."

Huge congratulations to @thestorymuseum.bsky.social for being named the top family attraction. Any place that is built around stories is going to be special. My kids enjoyed their visits there and excited to be working on a new project with them www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2519484...

Happy book birthday to YOU Decide YOUR Adventure by Bear Grylls, illustrated by @jakeillustration.bsky.social, a fabulous nonfiction title, perfect for KS2 readers and budding survivalists. @dkbooks.bsky.social @sallytalksbooks.bsky.social worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/05/29/y...

Happy publication day to Bear Grylls You Decide Your Adventure which is published by @dkbooks.bsky.social TODAY and has been lots of fun to work on, especially as someone who used to love a choose your own adventure book! www.dk.com/uk/book/9780...

Catching up with news from the weekend, and was sad to read of the death of the talented photographer and photo journalist Sebastião Salgado. His book The Scent of a Dream: Travels in the World of Coffee was one of the first photograph books I worked on edition.cnn.com/2015/11/03/w...

After working on the upcoming Walking with Dinosaurs official companion book from @dkbooks.bsky.social looking forward to starting the series #WalkingwithDinosaurs www.dk.com/uk/book/9780...

Great to see the new @thamesandhudson.bsky.social offices this evening and talk about the upcoming YA graphic novel I am working on

Listening to Dermot on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social this morning. Later he will be talking to Bear Grylls later about his upcoming book YOU Decide YOUR Adventure www.dk.com/uk/book/9780...

Guess where we have been today? I am so glad there is a book option now. We do not need more tiny plastic toys, we get enough of those in party bags

Felt emotional watching Julia get the award and mentioning her husband Malcolm in her acceptance speech #Nibbies

Happy #Nibbies day, hope everyone going has a fantastic time and well done to everyone shortlisted. Whether you get a trophy or not being shortlisted is still a huge achievement

Last of my Easter chocolate is about to disappear (the kids still have lots)

Updated the current read on my profile, which often takes me a while after reading. I have finished #ClemFatale (review here www.instagram.com/p/DI8e-OiKFA...) and my hold arrived from the library for Network Effect

Great to see Bear Grylls upcoming book You Decide Your Adventure starting to arrive with reviewers

After a busy week it's nice to log off, shut the laptop and get myself a drink to toast the bank holiday weekend #longweekend

Authors Jeannette Ng and Lauren Beukes have established The Genre Creators for Trans Rights auction with all proceeds going to The Good Law Project and The Triangle Project 👇 #BookSky

Back working after the Easter break and this week brightened up by dinner with my friend Polly who I worked with at Usborne many years ago. One of the great things about 18+ years in publishing is the great friends I've picked up on the way

Excited that one of my favourite programmes is back. I was worried there wasn't going to be a parent child partnership as they left them until last but here they are #RaceAcrossTheWorld

Back at my parents house for the long Easter weekend and there was a hot air balloon sighting
