One of my favourite things about freelance commissions is speaking to world-class academics. It blows my mind I can speak to the actual experts! On topics I find so interesting! (This message is inspired by a conversation with an expert on the history/ sociology of baby names)

My Observer Magazine article is also online. It looks at how social media reshaped my understanding of antenatal care, birth choices like freebirthing, pregnancy loss, loneliness and connection - and how this influenced my debut novel, Baby Teeth. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I became absorbed in strangers’ fertility journeys online

What started as curiosity would turn into an emotional investment for Celia Silvani – and eventually, a lifeline

From ‘liking’ viral TikTok pregnancy announcements to engaging in the quiet spaces of miscarriage forums after experiencing recurrent loss, my relationship with strangers’ pregnancies has changed significantly over the last five years. In today’s Observer Magazine.

Beyond excited to see Baby Teeth in Heat magazine! “A truly thought-provoking read about pregnancy and the dark side of online communities, this emotional rollercoaster will leave you gripped until the very end.” Just two days until hardback publication now ❤️

I was already feeling nervy about my driving theory test so I was thrilled to get an email from DVLA just now saying "54 out of every 100 theory tests were failed between July and September 2024"

I've found out what happens when your dreams come true! I got a toastie maker for Christmas and it means I can have toasties every day, including toasted ham and cheese croissants for today's lunch, and it's just incredible???
