David Almond explains what it’s like to write a book. And, for me, he’s hit the nail on the head! #amwriting #amediting David Almond: On writing https://t.co/Uei3dGB6jI

A snapshot of my writing over the last few months and a tiny sneakpeak of what I’ve been working on. There simply aren’t enough exclamation marks to show how excited I am about this new project!!!!

✨BEASTOPIA … coming soon!✨

Calling all aspiring writers📣

OPEN COOP IS BACK🐣

This leap year, for 24hrs only, we're opening to submissions!

If you’ve got a great idea for a story we would love to hear from you! (It doesn't have to be perfect or even finished!)

Full details here: https://t.co/lv4ZVglXEZ

[Kerry Mintern 🏝 @KerryMintern]

Super excited for this!
💙💛💙

[Chrissie Sains @CRSains]

I've been squirrelled away for a little while but I'm back!

Brace yourself for a cacophony of utterly useless, but highly fascinating jam and spy facts to celebrate the fourth and FINAL book in the Alien in the Jam Factory series, 'A Spy in the Jam Factory' (out 4th April)! 🎉

[A. Connors @aconnors_writes]

If you're interested in reading a bit of high-concept, character-led YA Sci-FI, now is your chance to snap it up for 99p :)

And if you read it, or have read it, kind reviews on Amazon and Goodreads really help the algorithms, apparently. 😁

I've been lucky enough to be involved with @EmpathyLabUK recently and I've learned some AMAZING things about reading and #empathy.
For eg -
"the brain does not differentiate much between reading about an experience and practicing or witnessing it in life."
How cool is that?
