Reposted by @hazzabee.bsky.socialMegan Freeman-Hoare @meganfreemanauthor.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Read as often as you can. Write a little bit every day. If you want to get into writing seriously then join a group, find a critique partner, do some courses... anything that means eyes other than your own are reading your work. And most of all, write the books you want to read! #ukteenchat 162

It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out. 6051081420
