Excited to say my submissions are open again - so if you're writing for children - from chapter books and young fiction through comics, graphic novels, MG to YA, I'd love hear from you. https://t.co/ZvhnIXf0CT

Just popping up here to excitedly say I have signed debut YA author @k_collinson to my list. Can’t wait to share STORM HEART with YA editors next year.

Think epic fantasy adventure set in a parallel Scottish world-with rival clans, dangerous initiation trials & family secrets!

I couldn't be more excited for YA readers to meet THE WYCHERLEYS. Annaliese's magical Regency world is incredible & Aurelia and Jules are the protagonists you'll be obsessed with in 2025. Here's to a truly magical match @simonkids_UK @AliDougal For The Kingom and the Magic!

@Alex_T_Smith Maybe that’s why he’s only got one trouser leg-in preparation?
