London Schools: Do it. You won't be disappointed!

[Jennifer Killick @JenniferKillick]

Schools: if you're in, or close to, London and interested in booking a visit with me this academic year, I have limited availability between 15th and 28th May. Please give me a shout if you're interested. x

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

Had a wonderful author visit at school today. Thank you @JenniferKillick for a great day. The kids had a blast!

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

This sounds awesome!

[Farshore @FarshoreBooks]

We are thrilled, chilled, and slightly terrified to share the news that we have teamed up with Queen of Horror herself @JenniferKillick for an anthology of spooky stories from thirteen of the best authors today: https://t.co/hrtn2FfmRd

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

Publisher: It's called 'Timmy and the Exciting Stuff'.
Waterstones: [eye roll]
P: But wait! Some generic kids go to a magical place where stuff happens!
W: Stop wasting my time.
P: Oh, and it's written by Jamie Oliver.
W: You've charmed me. Put us down for a billion copies!

[Waterstones @Waterstones]

A pinch of adventure, a dash of friendship, a sprinkle of mystery and a spoonful of magic... @jamieoliver delivers the perfect recipe for a page-turning children's fiction debut with Billy and the Giant Adventure ✨ Signed Bookplate Edition: https://t.co/91cWyfUgui

@markbradleyart I couldn't agree more Mark. Plus, I'd love to see what work you're producing with Gremlins 2 in the background! I bet it's not dull! What a bonkers movie!

Following yesterday’s travel disaster, I’m opening up my offer again for discounted visits to schools close to London tube stations. £300 total for three sessions (talks/workshops) plus a book signing. Available in spring term, excluding dates around WBD. 🥰

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

@mossmontmomery Honestly mate, it was so useful. You really helped strengthen the central narrative arc of my main character, and made the book so much better. And you also made writing the synopsis a lot less daunting!

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

I can't recommend this highly enough. @mossmontmomery is insightful and encouraging throughout. This is well worth your time, no matter what stage your WIP is at. Thanks to Ross, mine is now finished!

[Ross Montgomery @mossmontmomery]

Ever wanted to write your own children's book? No idea where to start?

Behold! In my new @Domestika course, I'll take you step by step through my own process - using my current WIP, THE STONE CALLERS, as a model!

@markbradleyart Spot on, it's like magic. So excited for this. Stop motion and @RealGDT , two of my favourite things in all the world.

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

@socksandcandles Well done Sal. It's a great achievement. Many people wouldn't have managed to finish it. Oh, and well done with the running too.

I know I'm late to the party but I've just finished The Haunting of Hill House as part of my #FlanaganFest and it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. @flanaganfilm is the real deal, and I look forward to following his career for many years to come.

Sometimes writing is a joyous synergy between your imagination and the words that flow from your fingertips.

Sometimes it is spending a surprisingly long time googling “parts of a door” because you can’t remember the word “latch”

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

As a children's author, I've been visiting schools & libraries for 20 years now. But I never cease to be amazed & inspired by the work teachers & librarians do every day to help kids find books they love - books that make them into readers & change their lives forever. #literacy

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

This looks like great fun!

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

@JenniferKillick @hfj0108 Fantastic, I'll email once I'm in the office tomorrow. Let's make it happen!

[Kev Thorne @KevThorneWriter]

I'd gone a little off the boil with my reading lately, cos of (i) moving house, (ii) having a baby and (iii) finishing my own novel. Glad that the audiobook of Wranglestone by @DarrenRCharlton has got me going again. It's terrific!
