Some writers need someone to tell them NO and resist some of their bad narrative urges. Some writers need someone to tell them YES and push them to do what they really want to do.

The Fearsome faeries are coming to America! INTO THE FAERIE HILL is publishing in 4 weeks on June 24th. THE CHANGELING CHILD follows in October. 🧚 I moved to America in 1987 to live with my aunt and spend a semester at Montclair State College in New Jersey. Look at my 80s hair!

The delight when you find the perfect t-shirts for book events… with the correct spelling of FAERIE! 🧚 The distinction for me is that FAERIE represents old, dark folklore creatures (like the ones in my books) whereas a FAIRY is of the glittering Disney kind.

Why do you need to preorder Nate Yu’s Blast From The Past? The latest from @maisiechanwrites.bsky.social is uplifting, compassionate & I learnt so much about the Chinese Labour Corps during WW1 (and about ants too!). If you like these books, you’ll love this 🐜📖 @amberivatt.bsky.social #kidslituk

Been writing a few #kidlituk reviews recently - you'll find them on the @waterstones.bsky.social website. I only review books I really enjoy, tempting as it is to do otherwise, reading a 2 star review can be soul destroying for an author. First up www.waterstones.com/reviews/esca...

My EXCITEMENT at receiving these Choose Your Own Adventure Books, a beautiful blast from the past brought back by Pushkin Children’s! I LOVED these when I was growing up. #KidLitUK @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social

It’s a big NO from me to AI audiobooks, for all of the reasons below.👇 Much of this applies to the replacement of translators with AI too. Just no!!!

Hi everyone. It's Mother (Dr) Bookworm Bear with firm yet consoling words. If you have to write your book on your commute, in the middle of the night, shoved into pockets of time, sometimes in ten minute increments, you are NO LESS A WRITER than someone with a room of their own, with much more time

THIS. I stick my head out and scream this every now and then. UK publishing doesn’t give a damn about South Asian kids or representation. It just pretends to now and then. (I’m very lucky to work with editors who genuinely care and want to see change but it’s not the norm in the industry)
