Miranda Moore ☀️

Well this is pretty exciting. 😊🙏 Thank you @DFB_storyhouse and @arvonfoundation @thebookseller @BoChildrensBook

People ask why I have a garden library. I worked in corporate tech jobs for years and had to baptise my soul after all those sterile, minimalist offices. I painted the door pink because why not. I write my books there and it’s the only office I ever want. 🧡😭🧿

A superb read, delivered with sensitivity, insight and respect, about living & dying. Explores the immense importance and value of talking openly, with professionalism, support & kindness, about death & dying instead of avoidance/euphemisms. Excellent on audio. @drkathrynmannix

What an astonishing and humbling book @doctor_oxford @LittleBrownUK. If anyone needs a manifesto for why our precious #NHS @NHSuk is worth fighting to protect, this is it. Huge respect to all in this incredible story. 🙌

What a brilliant interview between @RobGMacfarlane and @david_perell. Fascinating and insightful. #WritingCommunity youtube.com/live/rdsE9XqB2…

A glum-looking somebody stuck in our garden fence. 😬 A few taps with a hammer to loosen the bottom slat => Freedom! Happy days 😊 Best thing was the other sheep were all waiting by the hedge. As soon as this one was freed, they all moved into the neighbouring field. Community!

13 Julys ago, I moved to the UK with two suitcases, one grumpy husband, and two years ‘highly skilled migrant’ visa stamped in my Turkish passport. Took me 10+ tech jobs and a burnout, but I did it. I wrote the book, I’m an author 🧡😭 (and my book has sold to 6 countries!)

The stellar and glorious @brudeluwrites @chickenhsebooks celebrating the launch of #LiviainRome at @EdinBookshop. Isn't it lush? Hearty congrats. 😊 Can't wait to read. 🤩😍🥳🍰📚

Nine years in the making! I started writing this story in 2016. Thank you @FaberChildrens & Thy Bui for creating these beautiful books 💛💛💛 #YABooks #SciFi #dystopian #UKYA

I don’t think I’ll ever get over this. I arrived in the UK in 2011 as a Turkish immigrant and went looking for a bookshop because it felt like home. I found Waterstones (Milton Keynes). I never imagined they’d one day share my book. Life is mad BUT so am I!!!🧡

Massive kudos to @Tanni_GT & @Sam_Kinghorn whose sell-out event at @BordersBookFest was particularly standout. So many interesting things covered – from realities/challenges of travelling with a wheelchair to training schedules, racing, discrimination, politics & so much more. 🙌

Bit late but just a wee post to say it was fantastic to be part of the brilliant @BordersBookFest. Programming was excellent - superb range of events for all ages and interests - and what a stunning spot. Chairing the Josh Silver event was tremendous. Brill audience and staff. 🙌🏻

Swimming into the weekend - and 2025 Independent Bookshop Week! - with another extraordinary new work from my father, Master Carver, David Robinson. Brave the downpours this weekend, and high-tail it to your local indy! #woodcarving #otterman #otters #naturewriting #Ingrained
