Hello! I had a baby 2.5 weeks ago! I’m also taking part in Lambeth Readers and Writers Festival next Wednesday 21 May. If you’re interested in hearing about my journey as a debut author, please come along. It’s free! www.eventbrite.com/e/1312883382...

I'm taking part in #LamLitFest25 (Lambeth Readers and Writers Fesival) with a talk about my debut novel, Baby Teeth, on the evening of 21 May. Please come along! eventbrite.com/e/1312883382...

I love Confessions of a Debut Novelist so much and it was such a joy speaking to Chloe!

Today I'm talking to @celiasilvani.bsky.social about her gripping bookclub novel Baby Teeth, how her research helped her delve into the world of internet forums and cults and why you should never send out the first draft of your manuscript to agents @orionbooks.bsky.social 🎧 bit.ly/COADNcelia

One of my favourite things about freelance commissions is speaking to world-class academics. It blows my mind I can speak to the actual experts! On topics I find so interesting! (This message is inspired by a conversation with an expert on the history/ sociology of baby names)

Recording for one of my absolute favourite writing podcasts this afternoon. One that has helped me so much. So excited!

It's World Book Day! To celebrate (as well as cobbling together a very bad Paddington outfit for my toddler), I spoke to the booksellers behind some of my favourite independent shops in South London. londonnewsonline.co.uk/lifestyle/en...

New review now up on my insta page. You can check it out here ⬇️ www.instagram.com/p/DGfj2zCAJA... @celiasilvani.bsky.social @orionbooks.bsky.social What a great read - dark, unsettling and compelling but check out the trigger warnings in my review!

This is a *direct* crossover of two things I'm very, very interested in ew.com/mike-white-t...

My Observer Magazine article is also online. It looks at how social media reshaped my understanding of antenatal care, birth choices like freebirthing, pregnancy loss, loneliness and connection - and how this influenced my debut novel, Baby Teeth. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

From ‘liking’ viral TikTok pregnancy announcements to engaging in the quiet spaces of miscarriage forums after experiencing recurrent loss, my relationship with strangers’ pregnancies has changed significantly over the last five years. In today’s Observer Magazine.

So thrilled to see Baby Teeth in The Sun today - “A brilliantly original tale…” @orionbooks.bsky.social

Baby Teeth is in the entrance of Waterstones Piccadilly, the biggest bookshop in Europe!

Baby Teeth is one of Glamour’s best books for February 2025! “A gripping debut” www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/best...

I'm sharing my review of Baby Teeth by @celiasilvani.bsky.social on Instagram as part of the #CompulsiveReaders #blogtour. A thought-provoking and powerful debut. Thanks to @orionbooks.bsky.social for my copy. Out now. www.instagram.com/p/DF7HLzLNB_...

Happy publication @celiasilvani.bsky.social !! BABY TEETH sounds incredible. It's on my Kindle ready to read 😍

Last night’s launch party at my wonderful local bookshop, the Bookseller Crow

Today’s the day! Launch day! Baby Teeth is out in the world @orionbooks.bsky.social

For Stylist Magazine, I wrote about my experience researching and learning about freebirthing - and how it shaped my book (Baby Teeth, out tomorrow with @orionbooks.bsky.social). You can read the full article here: www.stylist.co.uk/fitness-heal...

Beyond excited to see Baby Teeth in Heat magazine! “A truly thought-provoking read about pregnancy and the dark side of online communities, this emotional rollercoaster will leave you gripped until the very end.” Just two days until hardback publication now ❤️

When content creates community – for Sunday Times Style, I spoke with fertility influencers, viewers and academics about the support, the solidarity and the criticism that comes with sharing trying to conceive (TTC) journeys online. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

I was already feeling nervy about my driving theory test so I was thrilled to get an email from DVLA just now saying "54 out of every 100 theory tests were failed between July and September 2024"

Cracking surprise book mail of a brilliant finished copy of Baby Teeth by @celiasilvani.bsky.social coming from @orionbooks.bsky.social on 6th Feb. Thank you very much @sarahlundy13.bsky.social 📚❤️

Being recorded for my first podcast interview today! Extremely surreal, exciting and also terrifying (will I remember how to speak???)

I've found out what happens when your dreams come true! I got a toastie maker for Christmas and it means I can have toasties every day, including toasted ham and cheese croissants for today's lunch, and it's just incredible???

One month until Baby Teeth is out in hardback @orionbooks.bsky.social. I was so, so honoured to be interviewed the Honest Mum about writing my book, motherhood, and trying to balance everything: honestmum.com/wonderful-wo...

I've been with my husband for 10 and a half years and I think the main thing that's changed is I'm now a massive (seasonal) darts fan

I *finally* got round to reading Coco Mellors over Christmas. I read Blue Sisters then Cleopatra and Frankenstein in rapid succession. Both astonishing. To have a shred of her talent!

2025 is a big year: book one launches in February, baby two in May.

A (wonderful) former colleague at the National Literacy Trust set up The Feminist Book Club. One of her members has written the most amazing review of Baby Teeth! www.thefeministbookclub.co.uk/blog/baby-te...

How have I only just discovered Southern Charm? T-Rav's cruelty? Miss Patricia's glamour? The unsettling experience of witnessing Kathryn's s1 to s2 life changes??? I simply have to discuss.

The most exciting morning attending the audiobook recording of Baby Teeth at Hachette HQ

Ooo! I very much like the sound of Baby Teeth by @celiasilvani.bsky.social coming from @orionbooks.bsky.social in Feb. My huge thanks to @sarahlundy13.bsky.social for sending me a copy 📚❤️

Two months until Baby Teeth comes out in hardback @orionbooks.bsky.social! It’s been surreal and incredible to receive such kind words from authors I admire.

@battenhall.com Christmas party last night was gorg

Trying to get all of my colleagues to watch Hot Frosty

Have you heard of freebirthing? Where you shun any form of medical intervention during pregnancy and birth? It's making headlines and it's also at the heart of Baby Teeth, my debut novel out next February (on NetGalley and KU for a limited time now). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Constantly blown away by the kindness of the people on #bookstagram wanting to support debut authors

In Battenhall's Year Ahead in Social, @drew.battenhall.com commented on the number of journalists who've already migrated to Bsky. Still, I'm finding all #journorequests are happening on X

Next Monday, @tessapinto.bsky.social’s friends are watching Unrest to understand more about ME/CFS and raise awareness of the condition that’s left our friend unable to move, stand, or live without extreme pain for over a year. Please feel free to (virtually) join us - Unrest is free on YouTube

This time last week - Rome

The absolute JOY of my local bookseller saying they'd love to host Baby Teeth's hardback launch event in February

Following with interest - one of best, most beloved friends hasn't stood up since July 2023. All of Tessa Pinto's loved ones are #ThereForME
