In another timeline, there's a government putting huge funding into schools & libraries, giving teachers & librarians all the resources they need to help kids become readers - reading for themselves, thinking for themselves, creating a better world for us all. That's the timeline I want to live in.

I wrote about the ‘F word’ for writers - failure!
Why we shouldn’t fear it or feel shamed by it and what we can learn from the *scientists*

We're a cute little independent bookshop for children and young adults. We have a tea party on the ceiling and you're completely immersed in a Wonderland when you set foot inside.

We're in Retford, North Notts. Say hi!

Also got to drop in on bookshops in Mumbai and Goa that are stocking Dream Hunters which was an amazing thing to do - lovely to meet the booksellers and hope their readers enjoy my interpretation of a middle grade fantasy set in India!

Just got back from a 2 week trip to India. Was lovely to be back and to visit places that inspired my book as well as seeking inspiration for new things! Bustling Mumbai, the citadel fort of Jaisalmer and laid back Goa.

If anyone wants me I'll be selling you/your books - we have plenty - and you can put them in a bag and carry them home rather than chasing round all the neighbours looking in bins, ever hopeful that you will find your parcel.

some conversations this morning have me wondering: book folks, what do you wish there were more of in how books are covered? and by that I mean: lists? reviews? columns? themed essays? straight-up recommendations? something else I've never thought of?

If looking for books for presents Dream Hunters is in all good bookshops and is also reduced by 25% on the big river site.

There are barriers to seeing books set in a diverse range of settings reaching their young readers I’m lucky to have had a lot of support. I’m hoping book 2 has a smooth journey and that you like it. I think I like it - of course that feeling may dim a little after eleventy billion edits!…/2

As I edit book 2 I wanted to journey back to where the story began. I’m so grateful to my agent, editors and publisher for seeing something in the story and to the booksellers, teachers and librarians who put the books in front of the children it’s written for…/1

School visits are one of my favourite things. Great day yesterday with over 200 year 6/7 children. And lovely to catch up with bookseller Sanchita and teacher Zareena both wonderful humans in the kidlit world!

Nazima Pathan @nazimapathan.bsky.social · Dec 1

Hi I’m an author of childrensbooks and write middle grade fiction. My debut Dream Hunters came out August 1st.
Currently editing book 2 and ruminating on the next book idea. In my day job I work as a children’s doctor and researcher but in this space I’m mainly talking about kidlit and my writing.
