Libraries are so important for ALL children to have access to. Yet Lambeth council are about to cut £1M from the budgets of the libraries in their borough. We need your help to STOP this. I wrote an open letter to the council to try and get them to see the error of their decision. Please repost.

I have a book out in less than a month, and veeeeeeeery few people know about it. It’s lowkey messing with me. I announced the book over 9mnths ago, and since then, I’ve only seen it featured on the 1 list of upcoming books. 😮‍💨

Zac Gorman’s Magical Game Time collection is such a brilliant comfort read for me. Dude had such an amazing way of tapping into aaall the nostalgia of growing up playing video games in the 90’s.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

Following the recent headlines from HarperCollins UK and now from the National Literacy Trust, here’s an article I wrote for Books for Keeps about the decline in Reading for Pleasure, the issues involved and what might be done about it: booksforkeeps.co.uk/article/read...

Advance copies are officially in the building!! 🥹 It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had something new to unbox 😅 and I’m so GASSED to have it be this book. 🤩

All eyes on the Madleen. Israeli forces have just pretty much kidnapped the activists on this boat, when all they’re doing is trying to provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinians who are currently under Israeli attack.

Solidarity with ALL the LA protestors. ✊🏿 Props to you for standing up to a dictator.

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

Had to turn down two Downing Street related event invites this week. 🫠 I HATE how certain arms of the industry I work in are entwined with an establishment that actively persecutes people who look like me. It almost makes it so upward mobility can’t be attained without sacrificing integrity.

Just finished reading this! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Welp…I guess that means Bloomsbury is a publisher I’m no longer working with. I don’t care how much money she makes them, It’s a choice when you choose to continue to publish an author that’s dedicated their life to spreading hate/misery and is actively putting their money into funding bigotry.

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but a lot of people do and I for one will cross the shop to look at a good cover. If you think having the illustrators name on the cover makes it somehow lesser you need to explain why and pay me like 5 times more for being weird about it

I’m still seeing cover reveals happening and the illustrator being left unmentioned and untagged. This shouldn’t be happening anymore In BIG BIG 2025…ESPECIALLY from authors who should definitely know better cos it’s not their first rodeo. Authors…please…DO BETTER!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the men who resemble thumbs the most also have the most vile shit to say about women’s looks online.

You shouldn’t need a GoFundMe to survive cancer. You shouldn’t work 40+ hours and still be poor. You shouldn’t die waiting for healthcare in the richest country on Earth. This ain’t radical. It’s righteous. It’s time to fight for what we deserve: single-payer healthcare.
