Hello, new and old followers! 😀
Who am I? A writer currently publishing fiction and non-fiction for MG (children aged 9-14). New to writing for TV, but hope to do more.
Interests: psychology, wellbeing, film. An advocate of 'beginners mind'. I'll be 50 this year and am excited for this next phase!

Runaways by @elnorrywriter.bsky.social is amazing. A beautifully written and deeply real and relatable story about escape, home, and the weight of big worries on small shoulders. Out on 3rd July.

Gotta gush @karenmccombie.bsky.social 🤩 utterly voice-y, joyous. In an overcrowded (often samey) market this stands out by a mile. It addresses many things absolutely beautifully: ADHD, siblings, step, half families. Real, flawed adults. Warm, funny, pacy, wise. More Wanda! 🤩
