Ahead of its February release in the US, there's a Kirkus review of Little Lion Girl by me and @fionawoodcock.bsky.social (Bloomsbury) "Perfectly captures a courageous youngster's explorations of an unfamiliar setting." So flipping delighted 🦁 ❤️ www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

#NewIllustrationOfTheDay finally gives in to Christmassy books. This crisp and impactful caricature, part of a spread, is by Kate Hindley from The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland. Santa has to deliver to the princess of hearts. Out in paperback from Macmillan Children’s Books since October.

Would love to know your approaches to handling criticism & rejection - a fundamental part of a creative career! Do you sulk? Vent? Rage? Or go for a walk and (literally) take it all in your stride? I’ve shared MY approach here: shorturl.at/cDzi4 #authorlife

I used to do this in the early days of twitter so, before this place becomes feral...got any questions about children's publishing/writing? I won't have all the answers but I worked in publishing for 15 years before going full time as an author, here for all your demystification needs. #Kidlituk

Hello! I'm doing FREE virtual event for teachers, educators, librarians ...about the magic of wordless picture books! Please share while I work out how to use Blue Sky 😅📚 🗓️ DATE: 26th November 2024 ⏰ TIME: 7:00 PM @readingrocks.bsky.social wherereadingrocks.com/event/beyond...

New here so a bit about me.... I'm in Central Scotland and write MG/Teen horror/supernatural fiction. I love being out in the hills, strong coffee, cake (any excuse for cake) sucker for cute dogs, also not-so-cute-dogs, gothic fiction (cliché alert!) Often in dungarees and Doc's ...yes at my age!

Doing my first ever panel at a lit con today 🥹 come see me at 4pm on the arts panel at YALC 💕

This is my first Bluesky post! l've finally taken the #tweetleap 🐦. My debut picture book There’s a Tiger on the Train (illustrated by @RebeccaCobb💫) published earlier this year.
