TEACHERS, LIBRARIANS, PARENTS & CARERS! If you're looking for a bookish #literacy activity for your kids, here's a 45-minute virtual school visit I did with @Booktrust all about reading & writing - free for all to watch on YouTube!

This will be my third year attending #WOWCON and I can't wait!
It's such a valuable conference for writers and brilliant to be able to watch the recordings in your own time too. Fantastic for those who have other life commitments that might prevent them attending otherwise.

[Stuart White @StuartWhiteWM]

I started this online conference in 2019, pre-pandemic, when there were so few virtual offerings for writers.

It's continued to flourish in our post-pandemic time, too, and while in-person conferences are great, it's important we keep providing for those without wealth, health, and those who are in geographically trick places.

If you can come along, amazing, but even if you can't make it live, you can watch the events later, at a time that suits you.

And the best part - no need to shell out of unreliable trains or expensive hotels!

So many of you ask how you can repay me for the voluntary work I do with @writementor and I usually don't ask for much in return.

HOWEVER, I have my first YA novel publishing on in 3 DAYS (Weds 30th), and even if you can't buy a copy, all sharing/rec's are so valuable and…

[Stuart White @StuartWhiteWM]

Ghosts of Mars is £0.99 or $0.99 in the UK/US Amazon stores NOW!

Many of you will have made a HUGE MISTAKE and not read the first book in the AWARD-WINNING Adventures of Eva Knight series, so now's a great chance to get the 1st book for cheap!
