I’m going to try and post every day until I get a World Book Day booking, let’s see if it works! I am a children’s author with ADHD who LOVES doing super energetic events. If you haven’t got a writer for World Book Day for you school, please get in touch as I’m happy to travel all over for events.

To celebrate the #NationalYearOfReading2026, I'm speaking at the @literacy-trust.bsky.social annual primary conference at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social. It's on 20th March 26, book here: literacytrust.org.uk/events/prima... #PrimCon2026 #GoAllIn2026 #NationalYearOfReading2026

A graphic in a greenish colour about the National Literacy Trust Primary Conference 2026. On the right we see three girls of about 8, two white, one Black, all sitting on beanbags and looking at an e-reader while one of them clutches a print book.

The conference is on the 20th March at The British Library. It's called Beyond the book: Routes into reading. The graphic also has my name and job on: Louie Stowell, Children's author

Doing a PhD means begging for money, like all the time. 🥲🫶🏾

Learning new platforms is annoying, but I guarantee you it is worth it because you don't want to depend on any single one of these apps/sites. It's inevitable that they will try and shut down one thing or the other but if we are flexible, we can stay a step ahead. Digital ungovernability, y'all-

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

I can already hear the wakanda accent from the Children of Blood and Bone movie. I love how they managed to find multiple Yoruba men but somehow we are going to have Amandla Stenberg representing Yoruba women?)

Just finished a chapter, I’ve been stuck for two weeks so this is a big deal. Next up, my characters are almost going to die (again🥰👌🏾)

Just started a PhD in African Art and I’m using it as an opportunity to explore African British culture in more depth. Would love to connect with Black people in the heritage space across the diaspora🥰🙏🏾 #AddToBlacksky

I love my Oriki name so much - Ayinke means born to be pampered and it suits me SO well. Does anyone else have an Oriki name or a special cultural name that’s important to them?

This makes me feel so cosy, I can smell spicy stew bubbling and hear my siblings yelling my name to look at them do something stupid. 😭🫶🏾

White supremacy is the worm, doesn’t seem like people are very interested in pulling it out though.

I just saw some lovely reviews for Kòkú Àkànbí and The King of Lost Souls and it really made my morning! I’m so proud of my second book I really feel like I grew a lot as a writer during the process of writing it.

Another reason I like the Yoruba Orisa gods is cause so many of them are gay and non-binary, like sooo many.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

I don't support everybody Black. At some point we need to reckon with the fact that some Black people *in our community* are feeding the racist machine that oppresses us - directly or indirectly.

Hi friends! Just a lil intro 📚My Kòkú Àkànbí series sits within middle grade and lower YA fantasy. My novels are thrilling African fantasy based on Nigerian mythology that features a 13 year old super Black British kid with sickle cell. 🔥Think Black Panther meets Supacell!
