@uvcompetition.bsky.social was the boost that I needed to keep writing. I'm a UV 2022 alumni and I met some lovely writer friends who kept me going until I got my agent and book deal. It's worth entering!

One from the short Cambridge break haul just completed. ‘Spooksmiths Investigate The Cinderman’ by @alatkinson.bsky.social. A good adventure read with notes of Davy Jone’s heart issues. Into the Christmas gifts next. #EduSkyPrimary

💙📚Book Review📚👍 ‘Spooksmiths Investigate: The Cinderman’ by @alatkinson.bsky.social is a thrilling start to a new middle grade horror series. Read my review at: www.amazon.co.uk/review/R1A8S... #WritingCommunity #KidLit #KidLitUK #BookSky

Front cover of ‘The Cinderman’ showing two children - a girl with a torch and a boy with a magnifying glass. They are surrounded by ash clouds that form the silhouette of a scary monster.

I’m here for all things book related particularly middle grade and teen stories. If it’s spooky, scary, mysterious, adventurous and/or funny, I’m in! Thank you, Toppings Edinburgh, for letting me climb my very first bookshop ladder. I want one.
