Winner Unbound Firsts w/ debut novel “Northern Boy”. Agents: adult @rcaskie1; children's @lucyirvine93 at PFD. Debut MG “The Night I Borrowed Time” out 5 Feb 26
My debut adult novel #NorthernBoy is out Summer 2024, thanks to the fab folk @unbounders! I'd love it if you could pre-order. It lets bookshops know what's likely to sell and gives a first-time author much more clout. Here's the link: unbound.com/books/northern…

I can’t tell you how much this means! Thank you @WstonesBburn .

Thank you Hannah and the team @WstonesBburn !

Six weeks to go until Hero gallops into bookshops on September 4! I think that's respectable enough time to start a count-down? @FireflyPress
When I was a child, my favourite books were the ones that took me seriously as a reader; the ones that were honest, and didn’t try to soften or simplify the truth, even when they dealt with difficult things. That’s the kind of book I want to write myself. dailybulldog.com/arts/an-interv…
I found this so moving. Especially the line about the sweet wrappers. Gorgeous.
Delighted to see my poem Sweetshop on display at the beautiful Blarney sanctuary walk as part of Cork’s Poetry in the park! 📚✍️❤️
Hugely excited for my next event at Sidmouth Library on Saturday 16th August - Storytelling and much more! Cyril can’t wait! 🐻@TinyTreeBooks #kidlit #WritingCommunity #Storytelling #ChildrenEvents #PB #authorscommunity ✨😍
🥤A £5 iced-latte? Or gift book packs to 3 pre-school children living in women's refuge centres. Books help overcome disadvantage and nurture a life-long love of reading, but for many they're a luxury families can't afford. Spread joy this Summer with a monthly gift.☀️
Our excitement is growing daily as the #publication date of #legend Martin Sherman's hugely anticipated and much needed #memoir is truly on the horizon. Don't forget to secure your #signed copy of ON THE BOARDWALK when you #preorder here: bit.ly/3QszFdy
