A gem of a book. 💎 Spare and lyrical at the same time. Humanity and wilderness sculpted into just 146 pages. Love an author with the skill and self-control to give the reader only what is essential. Ivar is tremendous. 💛 Sublime.

Unsolicited writing advice, no: 1276: The secret to writing success is *to make the reader feel something.* It doesn't matter how beautiful your prose is, or how clever your premise is if the reader feels nothing for your characters or your story.

Children don’t need aggressive gatekeeping by adults. They need positive enthusiasm, encouragement and discovery. What matters isn’t whether a book is old or new – it’s that it sparks joy, confidence and curiosity. That’s how lifelong readers are born. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

My top tips for #NationalStorytellingWeek: 1) Write the story YOU want to read. 2) No writer can write a perfect story in one draft. You need to write, read, edit, rewrite. Rewriting IS writing! (see art below, by Charles M Schulz) 3) Whatever happens - NEVER GIVE UP! sfsaid.com/2017/01/thre...
