Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1378: Many would-be authors make the mistake of believing that you "start off" as a children's writer, then "move on" to writing for adults. This is both completely incorrect, and terribly disrespectful to children's authors.

It has arrived! I was very excited to receive my author copies of The School Magazine's Touchdown and discover not one but five stunning illustrations by Rosemary Fung! I think I'm going to need to get one of them framed!

A kid at school came up to me and said 'Ms Fieschi do you know the movie Sylphvania Grove?' So, quite taken aback and all smiles, I said 'I do, I made that movie.' He said he watched it on the weekend and liked it. This absolutely made my day, still smiling about it days later 🥰

Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books
