I’m wondering if any children’s publishers need a freelance writer to write reading scheme books for them or branded picture books etc? I’ve written reading scheme books for Star Wars and Disney before! Any shares would be amazing!

One for all the English and Welsh #EduSky folk ⬇️ We know that these kids and they're families need more support and yet again Starmer's government is making cuts impacting the most vulnerable.

Just spreading the word about the government’s appalling cuts to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund! 🤬

This is an action-packed cosy, festive, heartwarming hug of a book. It deftly and tenderly navigates themes of loss and grief while also ensuring maximum magic and excitement!

Beautiful, eye-catching illustrations add to its charm!

I will be running something called MIDDLE-GRADE MONDAYS over on Instagram. I’ll be inviting a middle grade author to come onto a live chat with me so we can talk about their books!

I’m very excited to announce that the first author will be the amazing SF Said on 3/11 at 12.45!

Absolutely loved this fizzy, fun queer YA romance by @calummcswiggan.bsky.social! It sparkles with joy while also sensitively exploring a range of complex and difficult topics! Teenage me would have loved to have read this. Stunning!
