As a Culture and Creativity category Finalist at the #studyukalumniawards it felt really special to be recognised on home ground – especially for someone like me who’s always falling between eligibility gaps and cracks. And yet, here we are – a foot in door! Yay! (now watch me kick it open!)

Prob the last drawing of 2024… Whether you’ll be out partying tomorrow night or in bed by 9.30pm (9pm more likely for me!), hope it’s all good and that the new year will bring all lovely things. I’ll have a new book out in June - The Fig Tree - so lots of exciting things ahead! 😘#woodyonthesofaagain

Reading up on Bruno Schulz for some work stuff today, this has come up multiple times: ‘My ideal goal is to "mature" into childhood. That would be genuine maturity.’ I think we share ideal goals!

Hey #kidlitart and #kidlit friends! If you'd be so kind as to help spread the word, there's a bunch of hopeful authors and author-Illustrators who sure would appreciate it! 😊 Also, check out these query letters, pitches, and excerpts. I've learned so much from reading everyone's submissions. 🧐
