Journey to a dark new magical world in The Hexton Chronicles: The Trouble with Magic, the first in Amy Wilson’s gripping new series, illustrated by Eric Deschamps @ericdeschamps.bsky.social. At its heart lies an unsettling truth: the seeds of magic within us don’t always grow into something good…

Bologna may not be sunny this year but it’s buzzy and positive and editors are looking for middle-grade again. Hurrah! 😊 #BCBF2026

Just looked at the weather forecast for the Bologna Book Fair… WHYYYY??? 😿 #BCBF2026

Don't let self-doubt get in your way. Write what you love & go for it! Never try to write for the market - it will always turn around and be completely different by the time your manuscript is ready. Write the story you're passionate about. Write it well. Let your passion & talent shine. #ukteenchat

OMG! Watch Lewis Cope dance THAT rumba on #Strictly and then tell me he wouldn’t make a great Rhysand in the #ACOTAR movie we’re all longing for! 😂😍

So excited for this brilliant book! And just look at this gorgeous trailer! ♥️🎉

So... this happened. Still in shock

I’m delighted to announce my participation in this year’s brilliant WOWCON 2025 conference for children’s authors. I’ll be talking about The Decline in Reading for Pleasure and what we can do about it. Find out more here write-mentor.com/2025/08/22/w...

I was today years old when I discovered that some people pronounce the ‘p’ in ‘excerpt’! Fascinating! I’ve always pronounced it with a silent p and this is a hill I will die on! 😂 Is this a UK/US thing?

I just met K-Pop Demon Hunters! Loved it! ♥️

Excuse the moan but I’m cross with Atom who’ve dropped the interest rate on our savings twice in 2 months. We’ve only been with them 2.5 months & already thinking of moving our little savings pot. Chase were just as bad. Can anyone recommend a more reliable savings bank or are they all this bad?

Today’s visitor! 😍

Huge THANKS to the lovely lady who saw me limping at Waterloo Station thanks to new shoes making me bleed, & stopped me to offer a plaster - thus restoring my faith in humanity & the sisterhood! Thank you! ♥️😊😍

So. AI audiobooks. Thing is, sharing stories is one the oldest human activities, a truly beautiful thing, and I don’t understand people who think AI can bring anything to the table… 🧵 1/7

I can confirm this is a fabulously fun book! 😍♥️

The mild pain of being woken up at 5.30am was soothed by reading this fabulous book with Ivor (by @emlynas.bsky.social and illustrator Matt Hunt). Spoiler alert: it’s about a bear and a hare going to a fair

Been watching Goldeneye & possibly controversial opinion - I’m not sure - but Pierce Brosnan is by far my favourite Bond. He’s just the most James Bond-ish somehow!
