These wonderful people are working with our primary schools to ensure that every child gets the support they deserve to develop the SKILL and the WILL to read.

[Kirstie Lynam @kmlynam]

Being able to read well is life changing. If you’re a parent, READ WITH YOUR CHILD. Read anything you think they might like. Storybooks, football annuals, comics, it doesn’t matter, JUST READ AND LOVE IT.

[Kirstie Lynam @kmlynam]

So true. Regrettably, knowing this doesn’t make it easier to bare. Still, you’ve got to be in it to win it, right? Maybe some day…🤔

[Kate Foster 🐕 @kfosterauthor]

We could all very easily not be published if the combination of right book, right editor & right time was even slightly different.

Every published author was once unpublished. It starts that way for all of us & does not reflect knowledge, skills or work ethic.

Sometimes, whilst reading, a word that you’d forgotten exists jumps out of the page and tickles your brain. 🤪
Today’s word: benumbed
Isn’t it fab?

Sometimes, just occasionally, I wonder if me being a children's author is making any difference to the world.
Everything seems so huge and terrible, I think, how can one small book impact on that? How can it be important in the grand scheme of things?

@bendavis_86 Lock it all up. You’re his Dad. Human nature dictates that he should disbelieve everything you say. It also dictates that curiosity should be tested despite what it did to the blummin cat. Kids are fearless. Parents are terrified. This is the way. 😂

[Kirstie Lynam @kmlynam]

Absolutely LOVE this thread 😂 real-world author life

Hey, do any super famous/eminent authors want to say something nice about me for a cover quote? I’ve been asked if I have any and I don’t think I do and it’s dead embarrassing.

[Kirstie Lynam @kmlynam]

@GabrielDylanYA I know EXACTLY what you mean!! Nice to have a win, Gabriel. Absolutely fantastic and thoroughly deserved. 👏🥳🥰

[Kirstie Lynam @kmlynam]
