You’ll find me mainly on Instagram @alisonweatherbyauthor. I need a more positive place as I process the mess in my birthplace and try to reduce the anxiety of being on sub with my goofy, silly teen boarding school mystery. ♥️♥️

@WelshDragonParr @CarnegieMedals @KidsBloomsbury Congrats, @WelshDragonParr! SO deserved! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

@Eve_Mc_Donnell @kevtmoran @OBrienPress @IrishKidsBooks I know who packed that book for you during her work experience this week. 😁

[Ruth Ennis @rurooie]

It's been so fun seeing people's take on this prompt, some folks share debut storytellers, others share older books they only just found. Just goes to show a good book can make its way to you at any time!

@Eve_Mc_Donnell @DublinBookFest Of course you did, Eve. 😂😂

Sounds amazing!

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

Had such fun breaking codes and talking books with @WellReadFoxrock students for Readers’ & Writers’ week. They’d all make great candidates for Bletchley - so clever! Thanks so much for having me. ♥️

[Well Read Foxrock @WellReadFoxrock]

Day 22 of #DIKBChallenge24. A book by an author you discovered this year. Cheating here - not a completely new discovery to us @WellReadFoxrock but today ALL of our 2nd Yrs got to find out about The Secrets Act by @aliwea ! Thanks for coming to Readers' & Writers' Week Alison! ❤

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

Making my way to a codebreaking session at @WellReadFoxrock with a heap of clever 2nd years!

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

How cool is this display?!? I can’t wait to break codes with @WellReadFoxrock’s 2nd years on Wednesday during their Reader’s and Writer’s week. But how lucky were there 3rd years to get @AshiLockie?!?

[Aislinn O’Loughlin - BIG BAD ME is out now!!! @AshiLockie]

Just a tired-happy author on the train home from chatting to the wonderful 3rd Years @WellReadFoxrock’s brilliant Reader’s & Writer’s week! Fell in love with the spooky Dark Acadmemia display on the library desk, complete with old newspaper reports on yellow d paper! Need one 😍

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

So excited for this, but also wish I could stick around to listen to the other great authors!

[Well Read Foxrock @WellReadFoxrock]

@happy_scribbler Thanks! 🤞🤞

@SJOHart @lucyirvine93 ♥️♥️

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

Had a fab chat with the amazing @lucyirvine93 yesterday about my teen murder mystery comedy set at a boarding school with missing bodies, secret passageways, Derry Girls-like friend group, and a poorly placed gong. I ♥️ this book and I can’t wait to send it out.

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

@LindsayGalvin @lucyirvine93 I’m crossing everything (also if you could open a children’s publishing house that buys teen, it might help 😂).

[Alison Weatherby @aliwea]

What?!?!??!

@keslupo I was just chatting with @Melliver about how you’re our benchmark for a good editor. You’ll find something amazing and I can’t wait to see what it is (and if it means we can work together again). ♥️♥️
