Just buzzing to see KICKFLIP on the #ReadForEmpathy list for 2026, from @empathylabuk.bsky.social. Logan & I are so grateful for all the support everyone has given Elliot, and it’s a joy to see a proudly non-binary book on this list, two years after JAMIE waved their own flag from it!

Sorry to say, there will be no SBLM paperback released tomorrow.

Please read the alt text in the first image for details, and be mindful that someone has tragically lost their life in this incident.

Any questions, please drop them below. 🩵
Sorry to say... There will be no Some Body Like Me paperback published tomorrow. Here’s why: You may have seen in the news, the tragic event that took place at Hachette’s distribution warehouse. All my thoughts are with his friends and family. As a result of the ongoing investigation into this incident, the warehouse itself remains closed. That means no books can move out of it, to bookshops or to people who have preordered. If you’re coming to an event this week, don’t panic - my publisher is working to get books to both Ink&Quill Montrose, and the Bound at Whitley Bay. I am confident the events will still go ahead and I’m looking forward to seeing you all! If you have preordered a book: first of all, Thank You. You don’t need to do anything except wait for it to arrive. When will Some Body Like Me be published now? Hopefully in the next two to three weeks - we are waiting for confirmation of when the warehouse might start operating again. This is completely out of mine and Gollancz’s hands. What can you do to help? If you haven’t already, preorder a copy of the paperback. When the warehouse begins operating again, the books need to shift! Please consider your local indie, as they will be impacted by this closure, too. If you have any questions, please drop them below.
