So, off topic of writing, just cx my sub to the Mash. I love a joke; satire is heavenly. This one; very light on satire. Exposes ugly attitudes towards neurodiverse ppl - associating annoying, unpleasant personalities. Wee 'self diagnosed' end doesn't cut it. Ableist troll food.

I'm a huge fan of all things Scottish, especially when bundled into the magic of stories. This is definitely one I'm looking forward to reading 📚

Thrilled that #TheDayMyDogGotFamous, the first in my new @PuffinBooks series that celebrates foster families, has been chosen as a BOOK OF THE MONTH by @lovereadingkids Thank you so much 😊
It’s amazing to see this book cover - to think ‘The Others’ was a shortlisted entry in our 2021 novel opening competition. @sjmerrett1 is an exceptional writer and we could not be happier for her. Massive congratulations, Sarah! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #searchlightawards #writingcommunity

I wrote this for @Booktrust, a great chance to shout about some of favourite #LGBT books for middle-grade (8-12-year-old) readers. @ldlapinski @MrEagletonIan @NotAgainBen @mssusieday @sophiemcameron @jennycarney @lxgino
Heartbreaking.
My sourdough starter died. I feel like I've committed some dark, twisted crime.
Aryah and Telsa, the woodworking wizards, have worked their magic! 🪚✨ Our talented duo has successfully crafted incredible bat boxes in the woodworking department. 🦇 These handmade creations are not just boxes; they are cozy homes for our winged friends.🌟🏡 Well done team!
On a personal (not writerly) note, MHG are wonderful. The care they put into educating, nurturing and housing kids who are having a hard time of it is deeply moving. They have changed the direction of my daughter's life. #ASD #ADHD #education #lifechanging @JaneMooreTrust

Super duper, folks
I wrote way too much for the bookseller piece and had to be pretty brutal cutting it down to size, so please enjoy here some (literally) edited highlights. First, on giving kids the comics they deserve:

What's the ethic for tagging authors in positive book reviews? I personally feel like maybe it's not a good option because I worry I'll misspeak or say something wrong by mistake, but I'd always love to brighten their day with a positive review. 💛
So relieved to reach the half-way point of this edit! Hopefully this means 2024 is finally gaining some momentum…
Writers with a literary agent, how long did you query before landing an agent? Writers without a literary agent (but are querying), how long have you been querying?
This mildly frantic thread is brought to you by an auction, 10 client MSs, 500 submissions and a day off work earlier in the week that produced over 100 emails...

@MclellanVerity @WritingAwards @ihussainwriter @DFB_storyhouse @arvonfoundation Oh wow, congrats on having The Powers That Be consider your work [enter fingers-crossed emoji here], but it's a terrible Catch-22. There's still time, so maybe have a tinker with the chapter book and see if it works as Lower MG?
I'm taking a two week break from everything children's author-career related, in order to focus on some actual writing. At least, that's the plan. I'm much more likely to spend the entire fortnight doom-scrolling, rage-tweeting and eating cake. #amwriting (possibly)
