As a children's author, being able to get out to schools and share my love of creative non-fiction books, in person, is one of the best parts of my job. I'd love to visit your school (in-person or virtually) and share some amazing facts. Find out more at: authorsabroad.com/se...

A favourite of mine for #nonfictionnovember! I absolutely loved editing Eurek-her! (@bsmallpublishing.bsky.social) It's an incredible children's non-fic book full of stories about women in STEM throughout history. More on my editing work here: aliceharman.com/deve...

Managing to reply to this juuuust before the end of #ADHDAwarenessMonth because... I have ADHD! Working on this book helped me reflect on my experiences and, after a LOT of forms and waiting lists, I now have a deeper understanding of my very own wonderful brain 😊🧠 Grateful for everyone @'d below ⬇️

I specialise in creative non-fiction, and coaching writers to bring their idea to life is such a privilege. Working on a 1-to-1 basis to see a spark of an idea through to a finished book proposal is my absolute favourite. If you'd like to work together, let's chat! aliceharman.com/1-to...

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Great list, and lovely to see Atlas Obscura: Wild Life here. I wrote a little bit of this book (for adults, just for a change!), about sea slugs and a famously ugly orchid, and I’ve really been enjoying reading the rest! It’s great to dip in and out of when you have 5 mins
