Over the coming weeks we will be sharing some of the amazing feedback we've received from #schools about the hugely talented authors, poets, illustrators and storytellers we work with, and who better to start with than our November Artist of the Month @bardymum.bsky.social?

Move over Christmas, we're counting down to our favourite day of the year... #WorldBookDay!

If you haven't arranged an #authorvisit before, we can help - from recommending authors to coordinating #booksignings and everything in-between.

We're whizzing through November at quite a pace and our November Artist of the Month interview has been out for nearly two weeks!

If you've not had chance to read it, grab a cuppa and have a quiet 10 minutes with the lovely @bardymum.bsky.social! ☕📚

A.I.M. High days are really special. allowing enthusiastic young writers/scientists or mathematicians to work with professional tutors for a day. Why not try a taster day as a host school or join in with a session in a nearby venue. @authorsabroad.bsky.social

New #bookmarks are almost as exciting as new #books!! 🤩📚🎉

These will be on their way to schools as part of our book supply service, and the new design will promote the feeling of book ownership for young readers and help avoid missing reading books! 🥰

We all know author visits engage young people with #readingforpleasure but did you know some authors give talks on #STEM topics too?

Here's a thread of suggestions for visiting authors who give real cross-curricular value and can help young people see STEM subjects in a completely new light.

Happy half-term!🎉

It's #WorldFoodDay today and if you know us here at AA, you know we LOVE food almost as much as a certain hungry caterpillar or an infamous tiger!

What fictional food has made you wish you could just reach into the book and grab a bite?
