Recently released or upcoming young adult titles with autism rep:

Happy #AutismAcceptanceMonth! I'm proud to be an autistic author writing characters who are openly, proudly autistic (with all the complicated feelings that come with it) – and to write into existence the representation I so rarely saw as a young reader. Here's a sneak peek 🩵

COVER REVEAL! 🌊💕 Delighted to share the beautiful cover of REAL WHEN I'M WITH YOU, out 3rd July 2025 with Scholastic! Designed by Michelle Brackenborough, it really is the cover of my dreams. A SUMMER OF FAKE DATING. A CHANCE TO BECOME HER REAL SELF.

Introducing … REAL WHEN I’M WITH YOU! 🌊💕 I am OVERJOYED to share that my next book, my first YA, is out in July with Scholastic UK! This is the book of my dreams, a story I’ve threaded all my love into, and I can’t wait until readers can fall in love with it, too.

announcement on its way..! 🌊💕

I'm in the brain-aching final stages of edits, where the work feels so nearly there, yet just out of reach – but it's also the time where my imagination is ripe with new story ideas, a little treat to keep me going when it starts to feel heavy. I love the little sparks of creativity ✨💕

So glad I got to stop by @thebookishtype.bsky.social while I'm in Leeds - a fabulously pink and inclusive queer indie bookshop. There were so many books I wanted to take home with me. And there's a signed set of The Paper & Hearts Society series now too! 📖💕
