I've been keeping a small secret...this weekend, @societyofauthors.bsky.social funded me to visit @thedeephull.bsky.social, one of the largest aquariums in the UK 😭🌊 It was magical, and I've come away with a wealth of photos/video/audio to use for my book!

POETS KNOW THE JOY OF THIS LITTLE GREEN A! Just got my first poetry acceptance on Duotrope 🙈💖 My haiku 'Yearning' will be published with @thescikuproject.bsky.social (a platform for science-based haikus) later this year! 🔥🔥🔥

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with @jenbowden12.bsky.social as part of her Northern Voices podcast! We chatted about my book '365 Days of Healing', the Northern writing scene/UK book industry, as well as my upcoming projects 🥰 You can listen here:

Surprise! I'm one of @newwritingnorth.bsky.social's Emerging Creative Associates for 2025 🥳 I've had to keep this on the down-low for a while, but I've been dying to gush about how wonderful NWN's support has been! 🥰💖

This is the best subject line I've ever received. Hell yeah! I'm the octopus author 🐙😂

When you're writing a book about octopuses, it's very useful that many stores have adopted an octopus theme this summer. Behold: an octopus cookie! And a GREEN one at that 👀🐙💚

Another day, another creative writing session! I'll be hosting @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social's Writing Group this Thursday 26th June, from 5:30pm-7:00pm 🥰

Come along if you're looking for a place to relax, chat with other writers...and maybe even get a little writing done! 👀

Enormous thanks to our brilliant editor @katbrownwrites.com for all of her hard work: none of this would've been possible without her! NOTATS is all about unspoken loss and grief, and to know it'll continue supporting those going through the same experience is unbelievable 😭💖

Ending the week on a high note! Not only has 'No One Talks About This Stuff' been picked up by Robinson, it's also been selected for @readingagency.bsky.social's new Reading Well for Families booklist! It's available to borrow for free from libraries 🥳

After last year's doomed trip to St Andrews to meet an octopus, I thought it was never going to happen!! But TODAY I had the pleasure of meeting Otto, Tynemouth Aquarium's common octopus, and he's even more majestic in person 🐙🥰 (1/4)

🌊 OUT OF YOUR DEPTH 🌊

Imagine your midlife crisis...but you're twenty-nine, everyone thinks you're a murderer—

Oh yes. And you've sprouted a fully-functioning set of octopus arms 🐙

Any advice to pass along to Dr Alexander Naut? 🙏👀
