why can they not just fix it

Exciting news! www.thebookseller.com/rights/robin...

Hello! For ADHD Awareness Month, the bionic text eBook of 'It's Not a Bloody Trend' is down to £2.99. If you find you have trouble with your eyes sliding off words, bionic text is a wonderful innovation that makes it much, much easier to read a book: www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Not-Bloo...

Hello from ADHD me who was just idly wondering when the paperback edition of It’s Not a Bloody Trend was coming out (I’ve been away) and blow me, it’s TODAY! With a lovely new quote from Bryony Gordon and everything! Thank you so much to Andrew and everyone at Robinson and Millie at United Agents!

It's #ADHDAwarenessMonth and one very good way to become more aware is to read It's Not a Bloody Trend, by @katbrownwrites.com, which is out in paperback this very day - retailer links here: www.hachette.co.uk/titles/kat-b...

Big news! I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite. I can't wait to share it with you! It's out on April 2nd, and is available to pre-order now. #bfrb #bfrbs #bodyfocusedrepetitivebehaviors

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

Good morning everyone! So, I wrote a book (!!) and it’s coming out November 4th in physical and audiobook form. It’s called *How to Change a Memory* www.amazon.com/How-Change-M...

We published the brilliant 'Holding the Heavy Stuff' this summer - an illustrated guide to acceptance and commitment therapy.

Preorder links here if you'd like a copy, or for a friend – and, as always, you can order it from your library! littlebrown.co.uk/titles/kat-b...

One day I won't feel physically unwell because of Unbound/Boundless, but until that time, here's the Publishers Weekly piece on it which is causing Some Chat in the authors group. The authors group filled with brilliant books, ideas, and writers. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Yay, lovely to see this covered in The Bookseller. We re-publish this brilliant anthology tomorrow!

I am also delighted to say I've just signed with Robinson to publish No One Talks About This Stuff. Robinson publishes It's Not a Bloody Trend and are a dream to work with. I am so excited for NOTATS to have a proper life given all the Unbound horrors. As you can see, Sybil is very supportive 🙄

It means a lot that Reading Well has books on dealing with loss. It's something that many parents experience. It's also why No One Talks About This Stuff is deliberately intersectional: grief and loss don't exist in a vacuum. They are informed by who you are. It's a support group in a book.

Some lovely news. Accessibility means a lot to me with my books so I'm really thrilled that my anthology No One Talks About This Stuff has been chosen for @readingagency’s new #ReadingWell for Families booklist! Now available to borrow for free from libraries. readingagency.org.uk/get-reading/...

In cheering news, if you’re near Moorgate, you must pop into Makes Sense to Me’s bookshop pop-up at 120. (Inside the Barclays.) Karyma Ellis specialises in neurodiversity and sells books and fidgets for kids, teens and adults - really really lovely! makessensetome.co.uk/pages/events-1

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

With gratitude to @drrachelgibbons for raising awareness #Hope #ItsOkayToTalk #MentalHealthAwareness #Support

'It's Not a Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult' by @katbrownwrites.com is just 99p on Kindle for the whole of March. An ideal time to snap this up if you haven't already.

It’s Not a Bloody Trend is a 99p Kindle deal throughout March if you’re looking for an accessible book about ADHD adult diagnosis - lots of people I haven’t paid and do not know have told me its funny, helpful and informative, which really surprised my mum. www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Not-Bloo...

These books will be invaluable for young people, parents, and clinicians. I highly recommend them for anyone struggling with these very common difficulties

Wonderful to see the launch of these two fantastic evidence based guides for teenagers relating to social anxiety and eating/body image worries. Congratulations to all the authors 👏👏 @littlebrown.bsky.social

Still 99p on Kindle!

For #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we have a number of books that support people with eating disorders.

Today is #ParentMentalHealthDay so seems a good time to mention some of our supportive publishing for parents - aimed at looking after yourself when your own children are struggling, and being more compassionate with yourself during new parenthood and the following years. #PMHD

I was utterly thrilled to get my first PLR statement today. Over 1400 people have borrowed It’s Not a Bloody Trend from a library since it came out, which, as a former Library Child makes me hugely emotional. Hurrah for people with ADHD (and for that title)

‘Through the compelling personal account and practical guidance it offers, this book helps turn immense grief into a pathway for healing, ensuring that the suffering of those we’ve lost becomes a catalyst for deeper human connection and care’ 🌱 Dr Rachel Gibbons, Royal College of Psychiatrists

Hello! I interviewed lots of people about the ups, downs and middles of ADHD, AuDHD and more for It’s Not a Bloody Trend. It was really inspiring and lovely. My publisher also put the resources section online if that helps connecting you overcoming.co.uk/1647/Its-Not...

and myself have created 7 brand new, fully illustrated free webinars about the low demand parenting approaches. www.autismcentral.org.uk/news/low-dem...

Please know that I read this on waking in Marrakesh and now I am going to be luxuriously sobbing in Marrakesh. #adhd

Hello and thanks to all my new followers. My name is Eliza Fricker and I am an author and illustrator. I have always loved drawing but there wasn’t much time in school for art.

Another great long read about why cynicism is for suckers. If you find yourself up in the mentions lamenting that nothing will ever change, repeat after me: "Cynicism is a tool for the status quo." Being an optimistic realist or - as I identify - a grim optimist, is WAY more punk a.co/d/9S8m0Mj

I have my first piece in Sunday Times Style today - teenage me is screeching - about grief and sadness and how the evergreen melancholy of Christmas can be a surprisingly brilliant time to sit with both (should be a gift link) www.thetimes.com/article/0247...

Started listening to Gender Magic by Rae McDaniel, and it's AMAZING. Already made me happy-cry, in-the-feels cry, and laugh out loud in the first chapter.

Pressure builds. They get quieter. Thoughts less malleable. So we offer ways out. We won't judge. We will flex. Until they are able to come to us. Cancel, change. We can always find a way. Without a sigh, without guilt. We make it safe to lighten the load. There's a solution, always.

Fantastic collaboration with @thementalelf.bsky.social to highlight the unmet need and lack of awareness around BFRBs. Follow for more!

Some children haven’t read the parenting manuals. Whatever you try, they do it back to you - but better and more consistently. From When the Naughty Step Makes Things Worse by myself and @elizafricker.bsky.social.

‘If, like me, you believe that suicide prevention is everyone’s business, then this is everyone’s guide’. Angela Samata, Ambassador for Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide charity and presenter of the BBC’s Life After Suicide. #SelfCare #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToTalk #BreakTheSilence

‘The Long Sleep’ by Kate Hill is released today in the UK. It was an honour to be involved in helping to update the 2nd edition of this valuable resource for supporting young people with suicidal thoughts. #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness

I support many families bereaved through suicide. It’s a pandemic in our nation and the shame that perpetually shrouds it has created a culture of silence that’s a barrier to change. If you’re supporting any young people who have or may have suicidal thoughts, this book could be a life saver.

Today we publish 'The Long Sleep', a fully updated and revised edition of a book first published in the 1990s, which offers insight and support into suicidal thoughts amongst young people. Thank you to Shirley Ballas for this endorsement. @thelongsleep24.bsky.social #TheLongSleep #SuicideAwareness

Happy publication day to @elizafricker.bsky.social and @drnaomifisher.bsky.social! This supportive, fully illustrated self-help guide is for teenagers recovering from stress and burnout. #Burnout #Teenager

Wonderful new research paper from Roz Shafran and colleagues (including a number of Overcoming authors) which provides some practical support for those recommending self-help books to clients and guiding them through them. #SelfHelp #MentalHealth #Overcoming www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Also grateful to be sent a copy of The Teenager’s Guide to Burnout by Dr Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker - looks like a compassionate guide for teenagers who are overwhelmed @drnaomifisher.bsky.social @elizafricker.bsky.social

This book puts mental health first. It encourages teenagers to think about themselves and the things they need in life to be happy- and to ask themselves whether school provides that. It is upfront about the reasons the school system can cause distress in young people.

It is #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek and, at Robinson, we publish a number of titles that offer self-help support for coping with bereavement. ##GriefSupport #GriefAwareness
