@AinChiara Page after Page by Heather Sellers is my old favourite, though the focus is around the skill of building a habit and being confident and keeping going with your writing rather than the more technical side of things.
Day 1 of the Little Island USA tour! 🏝️🇺🇸
Here we are outside Boston’s fabulous @belmontbooks.
L to R: publisher Matthew Parkinson-Bennett; director Kevin Stevens; authors Deirdre Sullivan, Siobhán Parkinson, Sam Thompson; and our brilliant @ConsortiumBooks sales rep Chris Kerr.
Listening to @tarsilakruse tell stories is always such a joy, she has me in stitches laughing at her insights at how incredible (and a bit bizzare) Hiberno English is. We are so lucky to have her in the Irish children's book community

@ManjeetMann 'As soon as I started writing for myself, doing work that scared & excited me in equal measures, I finally felt alive and empowered.'
@ManjeetMann discusses how writing her own roles & characters freed her from the expectations & limitations of others. #CBIConf23#RiskAndReward
A must for us in Irish libraries to pick up for our shelves this October ! This book is a celebration of Black Irish identity. Featuring profiles of Black Irish public figures from the worlds of pop culture, politics, sport, business and the arts. #RiskAndReward#CBIConf23
I'm so enjoying this talk from @ManjeetMann about a time in life with so much potential for #RiskAndReward: leaving school and pursuing a career in the arts is something that resonates with so many of us and it's so lovely to see when the reward makes itself known.

'It's time that anyone that can stand up and speak up does, to create an Ireland in which everyone can feel safe, feel happy, feel loved. So that whoever they love, whatever they look like, they feel that they are Irish.' 👏 #CBIConf23#RiskAndReward @DiopLeon @BriFitzsimons
Absolutely loving this talk with @Black_andirish / @DiopLeon and @LittleIslandBks. @BriFitzsimons, coming from an education background, placed emphasis how important Black representation is in books and how to make them accessible in every form possible.

"I want all young people to have this ownership over who they are...being comfortable in figuring it out is really important." Powerful words from @BriFitzsimons at #CBIConf23 talking about the forthcoming #BlackAndIrishBook
Congratulations to the wonderful @PForde123 on the launch of her new book The Girl Who Fell to Earth with @LittleIslandBks at @BooksUpstairs
It's a brilliantly creative story about an alien landing in Dublin, with lots of mystery and danger for good measure 🌌
Congratulations, @PForde123, on the launch 🚀 of your brilliant MG book, The Girl Who Fell to Earth, in the wonderful @BooksUpstairs. So much happiness and love for you in that room! 🤗🧡
