A highlight: I sold my Broomsticklers series to S&S! The books are going to be illustrated by the wonderful Karly Jade Catto, and I'm so excited for you to meet Poppy and Broomhilda. 🧹✨
The New Year is almost here! Taking a look back, what are some things you're proud of accomplishing in 2025? What's something you hope to accomplish in 2026?

My big hopes for the year:

🧹✨ TV rights for Broomsticklers
🎥 🔪 Film rights for my Hazel Graves series
🐶✨ Sell my romcom caper
Fuck resolutions. How about a wish list of things we'd like to do or things we'd like to see happen in 2026? And knowing full well these things might not get done--and that's okay?

Temporal clashes in architecture - what do we think? I know, like nails on a chalkboard, they make us feel rather nauseous, but lately I’ve been drawn to them.
That’s one of my faves, you’ve seen it before, the clash of German classical architecture and Polish 1970s. A cocktail like no other!

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
