Fancy a Tidemagic ebook for a bargainous price? Well, throughout November, it's just 99p on Kindle, which is too cheap for a book really, but we are where we are, so please do buy it! Link is in my bio! @PuffinBooks @AmberCaraveo

I’m most looking forward to finding an awesome new voice to champion. When I was a mentee, #WriteMentor was like a springboard and safety net. I can’t wait to help someone else make bold leaps with their story

Aw, I'm blushing. But seriously, this is such a great article, about Lynn's awesome story and the @writementor summer mentorship. Fingers crossed it encourages lots of people to apply this year

A monstrously huge thank you to @Wonder_Bookshop for making my first in-person school visits such a joy. The shop really is a wonderland (pictures are the treats I couldn’t resist getting for myself) and there should still be a couple of signed Tidemagics there if you’re quick 😊

Staycation Day 2 and we have a cake from the in-laws, and new board games, and we’ve had our walk already so have won against the now-awful weather. More holiday reading too. Thanks to multiple people in my #writementor YA group for recommending this. You were right. It’s awesome

ONE week till Tidemagic comes out in North America @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids , so I took it into Greenwich to meet the grilk & see a window display. Passersby definitely thought this was sensible behaviour and didn’t give me strange looks. Anyhow, US pre-order links = in bio

Last year was my first year mentoring (I was a mentee in 2020) and I LOVED it. I got to help two super-talented writers take their manuscripts to the next level, made two new writer buddies in the process and learnt so much from them both. Delighted to be back again! #WriteMentor

The idea for the magic system came when I was walking by the river. The tide was high and the water splashed onto the footpath. It was winter... misty... dusk was creeping in. It was easy in that moment to imagine magic in the air and monsters in the shadows #ukteenchat [1/3]

My only real tip is to figure out what works for you. There’s so much advice out there, and one size most definitely does not fit all. Take breaks, look after your back, and if you can, find people who get what you’re trying to do but will tell you if it isn’t working #ukteenchat

Spent all day and almost all evening struggling to edit a single page of my uni WIP and of course (OF COURSE) the solution was to cut the one line I really loved, and once I'd done that the whole thing just magically edited itself in about 30 seconds
