I'm giving a talk in a few months to some children's publishing and bookselling bods. If you could say one thing to a capitive audience of publishers and booksellers, what would YOU say? #KidLitUK (Dm me if it's something you'd rather not say out loud...)

Today is #coverreveal day for my next book and it’s a MONSTER 🎃 Gloriously illustrated by Eve O’Brien it’s out in August 🥳 Very excited to be back in the rhyme zone for Halloween rather than Christmas this time but baking is very much still involved!

In this world of AI awfulness can we just take a moment to marvel at the wonder of human skill and creative ability. I #microcrochet but nothing like this wonder of perfection from @missxade.bsky.social 😍

I am working with an editor at the moment (I won’t name them to save their blushes) who is just so brilliant at communication. Publishing can be a very opaque business from the author’s perspective and so I massively appreciate the effort this person puts in to keeping me informed 🙌

Brought a Creme Egg back from the US (for science!) and I regret to report that America, you’re being cheated. UK egg on the left, 40g. US egg on the right 34g. Not just smaller, but the chocolate is thinner. Tasted cheaper too, though I can’t read the ingredients to check if they’re different 🫡🇺🇸

I have had so much fun over the last 2 months out and about doing book promo and events but I am very pleased to have reached Easter 🐰 I have a nasty cough and possibly a bit of a chest infection. I think we have established my limits 😆 Happy Easter all and thank you if you bought our little book 🤗

I'm running a session at the @neunion.bsky.social conference later. In case you can't make it: - Graphic novels are a gamechanger. - Prioritise read-aloud time every day. - Book talk should be an embedded part of classroom life. - Build a culture of peer recommendations. - Don't forget poetry.

After a discussion of bad publishing takes and misinformation on threads, I feel like moaning about bad takes isn't enough on my part...so. Publishing. I worked in it for 15 years, now a full time author. I now don't know what people don't know. Authors/wannabe publishers, what do you WANT to know?
