Calling @HachetteKids! A huge hooray and pat on the back for for publishing the wonderful @onjalirauf's #HopeOnTheHorizon. Looking forwards to meeting all the real-life heroes and sheroes inside :)

Children's publishing is a cess pit rn. Here we have the usual suspects beginning their attacks on another children's author. (Not me this time.) I implore you all to call these toxic people out and complain to *their* agents & publishers.
Dear @OxonBookAwards, please note this highly unpleasant subtweet discussion between your patron @jocotterillbook and some of her peers. It's hard to read this as anything except a small clique of white authors bullying a younger female Muslim author.
