A brilliant segment today on Radio 2 highlighting the lack of awareness surrounding #emetophobia, a debilitating phobia that can impact every aspect of life (which we see every day at home). So much more awareness needed.
I’m currently doing a lot of work around emetophobia - more info to come soon!

Writers of this better place: I’m closing submissions soon but before I do, I’d love some final books to sell! Here’s my #mswl:

High-concept YA - if it includes & addresses untold histories / historically marginalized characters, all the better

YA horror - ALL OF IT

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Spend half of every week teaching lovely kids how to be kind online for an anti bullying charity so can’t even look at X at the moment - mind boggling. Will be sticking around here a bit more I think - 🤞for kinder platforms where kids can see adults acting like role models
