Hey! I've been writing a weekly Substack about narrative nonfiction - specifically my fixation on how a piece of journalism can be made to feel as distinctive as a novel or a painting. Here is the latest one, about worldbuilding.

I do not believe that books can be nutritious, or bad for your health. I do not believe that books can have ages or genders. But I do believe the books we love are the ones that make us readers - and I do believe every reader should have the right to choose what they read. #books #literacy

Yay, @PLR_UK is such a wonderful thing. I just got my annual statement. A huge thanks to anyone borrowing my books from a library. Authors often get more for a library loan than royalties on a book purchase. Twitch was my most popular book last year. 🦅

Here’s how my day went . . . Year 2 and 3 at Countess Gytha Primary wanted to make a mosaic as part of their ‘Romans’ topic. So, they took inspiration from some Roman originals, added their own colours and designs, and this is what we came up with.
