Hello, new and old followers! 😀
Who am I? A writer currently publishing fiction and non-fiction for MG (children aged 9-14). New to writing for TV, but hope to do more.

Interests: psychology, wellbeing, film. An advocate of 'beginners mind'. I'll be 50 this year and am excited for this next phase!

Happy publication day for Runaways, a wonderful children’s book about two kids running away. Wonderful complex and nuanced characters, friendship, positive representation of kids in care and above all about finding your home. @elnorrywriter.bsky.social

@elnorrywriter.bsky.social
is one of my favourite authors. She writes complex and compassionate characters in compelling stories. I adored Runaways, two powerful stories and an unlikely friendship in a tale about running away and finding your home. For ages 9+ out on July 3rd. [Ad|PR Gifted]

Runaways by @elnorrywriter.bsky.social is amazing. A beautifully written and deeply real and relatable story about escape, home, and the weight of big worries on small shoulders. Out on 3rd July.

Proof copy of Runaways by E.L. Norry. Split colour block cover with two eyes on it.
