Meg McKinlay

Children's writer and poet. Writing with heart, humour and heft, hopefully. Also alliteration, abviously. Repped by Left Bank Literary.

No one blogs any more but I've decided I don't care. A few words about family and fruit and finding my way back. Or forwards. Or something.

@skatesteed Yes indeed! I have 10 days on Christmas & Cocos Islands this year; surely the most excellent Book Week gig ever.

Children's Book Week is almost upon us and here's where my voice recognition software thinks I'm going. Hit me with your best guess!

Just had a surveyor here who informed me that I am "living in the void" and ngl that explains a lot.

[Meg McKinlay @MegMcKinlay]

@picturebookbc Oh, of course they are! Now I just have to remind myself to keep checking in. (As you can see, it's going well so far. 🙃)

[Meg McKinlay @MegMcKinlay]

Hello! Are people still here? aka If a Meg tweets in the hellscape will anybody hear?

[Meg McKinlay @MegMcKinlay]

@nicolasantilli Hey hey! Great to see your face (ish). :)

@gittins_kerry I accidentally disappeared again immediately - oops!

[Meg McKinlay @MegMcKinlay]

@NathanHobby Great to see you! I will try and come up with some bons mots anon!

[Meg McKinlay @MegMcKinlay]

@MegCaddyAuthor I thought everyone had gone! And all this time you've been carrying on merrily. I miss these little bites of stuff.

[Meg McKinlay @MegMcKinlay]

Wait, people are still posting Wordles and Covid tests? I feel like I never left!

What generous words! "Recipe for a rich and rewarding childhood" is a glorious line and I am definitely stealing it at the earliest opportunity. :)

[Matt W: A Word About Books @I_teach_muggles]

Full of wisdom, wonder and the joys of being young, Meg and Leila’s recipe for a rich and rewarding childhood is perfect for sharing together. Whimsical, charming and utterly delightful! @MegMcKinlay #LeilaRudge #AlwaysNeverAlways

@I_teach_muggles What lovely words! Thanks so much, Matt.
