MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS by @sabrinashahauthor.bsky.social & Manal Mirza is a lovely story about a young girl who wants to play the rabab as beautifully as her beloved grandfather does. A gorgeously written picture book with stunning, intricate illustrations! #kidlit #booksky

The world is burning but I'm in a meeting right now with a small group of passionately committed people at @barefootbooks.bsky.social talking about how we're going to double down -- QUADRUPLE DOWN -- on making diverse books and getting them into as many little hands as we possibly can.

When an actual middle grade kid (beta reader) says your MG horror is catchy, didn't want to stop reading, gets right into the action and wants to read more from the author 🥹🥹🥰 That's what it's all about isn't it? That kid reader #mghorror #booktok #kidlit #weneeddiversebooks #editorsguide

At which point is the Book fairy going to swoop in and grant me a new cosy library with wall to wall shelving, a ladder on wheels and maybe a talking teapot to keep me company. Tick tock.. like... 👀 Tick tock #library #girlslovebooks #wannabebelle #kidlit

Hello #writingcommunity. My reach here is so very low. If anyone sees this, would love a little support. I want to reach out to the amazing #librarians and #teachers out there fighting for diversity in publishing. Pre-orders and ARC requests now available. #Weneeddiversebooks #debut #barefootbooks

Some of you may know that since leaving the business side of publishing, I've focused on my writing and I'm blessed today to reveal the cover of my debut picture book MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS, out with Barefoot Books in May 2025, illustrations by Manal Mirza.

Me: I've been in a writers kinda block for a while... Narrator: Then suddenly the writer brain kicks into gear and starts braining at 1am in the morning, resulting in epic dialogue and narrative which she will fail to recall in the morning

Kinda scared that it's 2025 around the corner. I thought we would be roaming around in hover crafts already and chilling with Marty McFly #authorsofBluesky #kidlit #backtothefuture #90skid

Last night the middle grade writers in Singapore met for the 1st time in years. So blessed to sit around a small table with talented women writers, each with a vision, a passion and a story to tell That's what you call a village. Nothing more then love and support (and a healthy dose of critique 🤭)
