Finally received my PDFs for Waterstones Children’s Prize 2025 and turns out I already had 3 on my TBR! Really excited to be reading and voting for the first time 📚

@DavidBarker33 Really should have stuck with my original major project idea 😅

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

Just finished a proof of @EilishFisher’s Fia and the Last Snow Deer and I’m OBSESSED. The writing and illustrations painted such a vivid icy landscape I can hardly believe it’s still August! So excited to talk to kids about this one in the run up to Christmas eek!

@victoriamaidman Wahoo! Not many people can smash out an interview at nearly 40weeks pregnant! 🥳🥳

@doomdaysled This is so fair

I’ve got a second interview for a Rights Assistant role at PRH Children’s!!! @ladybirdbooks @PuffinBooks @PenguinTeen Looks like I’m booking a train ticket to London (eeeek!)

@becca_jo27 Taylor where she belongs 😎

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

@victoriamaidman Thank you!❤️🥰

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

What a perfect end to one of the best years of my life! I’m so grateful to all the people who supported me through it. My TBR has never been so big, but I’m all the better for it 📚❤️

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

The next chapter is going to be tough, but I’m looking forward to lots of moments like this amongst all of the job applications!

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

@doomdaysled I’m so so proud of you - absolutely smashed it ❤️❤️❤️

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

Still hoping for a few more submissions so if you’ve ever had anyone do something kind for you let me know! ☺️

⚠️Submission Request⚠️

As part of my final project for my Publishing MA I have to create an industry-standard manuscript. I’ve chosen to produce a collection of short stories of acts of kindness… which means I need some submissions! 🧵

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

@doomdaysled You’re so welcome gal! Just so glad she’s doing better ❤️

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

If you/someone you know would be interested in writing a submission please drop me a DM with an overview of the story.

Or alternatively please share this post!

Thank you! ☺️❤️

❤️- Ideally this would be an act of kindness that’s happened to you but if you’re a third party that’s been positively impacted that’s great too!

I would be working with you to edit/improve the submission if need be- I just need a place to start!

WE’RE ON A BUS

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

Waiting for the last bus back to Ambleside from Grasmere - it’s 10 minutes late, we’ve been hiking all day and waiting over an hour I just want to get home 😭

[Hannah Jane @Purple_0wl]

Tested COVID+ earlier in the week and have felt pretty rotten trying to finish up an assignment (only 3 to go!) so a nap and cosy date night building the Lego we got in London was perfect ❤️🌷
