In another timeline, there's a government putting huge funding into schools & libraries, giving teachers & librarians all the resources they need to help kids become readers - reading for themselves, thinking for themselves, creating a better world for us all. That's the timeline I want to live in.

Just got back from a 2 week trip to India. Was lovely to be back and to visit places that inspired my book as well as seeking inspiration for new things! Bustling Mumbai, the citadel fort of Jaisalmer and laid back Goa.

If anyone wants me I'll be selling you/your books - we have plenty - and you can put them in a bag and carry them home rather than chasing round all the neighbours looking in bins, ever hopeful that you will find your parcel.

some conversations this morning have me wondering: book folks, what do you wish there were more of in how books are covered? and by that I mean: lists? reviews? columns? themed essays? straight-up recommendations? something else I've never thought of?

As I edit book 2 I wanted to journey back to where the story began. I’m so grateful to my agent, editors and publisher for seeing something in the story and to the booksellers, teachers and librarians who put the books in front of the children it’s written for…/1

School visits are one of my favourite things. Great day yesterday with over 200 year 6/7 children. And lovely to catch up with bookseller Sanchita and teacher Zareena both wonderful humans in the kidlit world!

Hi I’m an author of childrensbooks and write middle grade fiction. My debut Dream Hunters came out August 1st. Currently editing book 2 and ruminating on the next book idea. In my day job I work as a children’s doctor and researcher but in this space I’m mainly talking about kidlit and my writing.

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

Pandora and the Story Forge by Gaynor Andrews and Marie-Alice Harel. The artwork is exquisite, the story is beautiful, ah this book! It is a breathtaking creation. You can find it here in our 2024 Gift Guide rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product-cate... Published by Rocketbird Books

The front cover of Pandora and the Story Forge by Gaynor Andrew’s and Marie-Alice Harel.

The back cover: Discover the magical world of storyteller Pandora, adorer of brave and beautiful words, weaver and forger of tales. Pandora is an explorer, a collector of words (even ones that misbehave). Once she has the words she needs, she watches them flower and then forges them into the most magical stories.

Friend to all the story-starved children, Pandora knows a secret: once read, a story unfurls in your heart. Enter her world and you’ll never see words in quite the same way again.

I’ve read some cracking books this month -here are some! From magical MG fantasies to a tale of a mystical creature which needs saving from big pharma to a heartfilled YA of a boy with big dreams - a great month of books. Getting my TBR pile diminished means new books are needed soon, right?!

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops. They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities. Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish . Thank you.

I used to do this in the early days of twitter so, before this place becomes feral...got any questions about children's publishing/writing? I won't have all the answers but I worked in publishing for 15 years before going full time as an author, here for all your demystification needs. #Kidlituk
