Literary Agents - Due to the closure of TGLA, from April, I'll be looking for some freelance agency work. I'm experienced in reading subs, editing, author care, royalties, inbox management & general assisting duties. If you think I can help, pop me a DM.

Just had the initial layout email for my debut unexpectedly land in my now magical inbox.

It's sooo beautiful. I can't even.... ✨️🥹🧙‍♀️👻

That's cheered me up more than my managing editor will ever know. I really needed this today. 💖

Just had an otterly wonderful publisher meeting about my Otter picture book. And now onto some gorgeous writing research while I'm off sick.🦦✨️

✨Recommendations pleeease! ✨

I'm looking for rhyming picture books where you're expecting to read a certain word at the end of a stanza, but instead, you're surprised by something completely different.

Can anyone recommend any good ones, please?

Thank you so much!

We had such a wonderful time with the brilliant @karlnewson.bsky.social & @mrtimdraws.bsky.social yesterday at our local @waterstones.bsky.social ✨️

All Aboard the Bedtime Bus is such a gorgeous story & it was so much fun to draw along with Tim & Karl. 😊

Been plotting since 4.30am! Now I'm ready to take over the world! ✨️

✨️ Querying tip... ✨

Don't be afraid to get in touch. You're not bothering agents if you let them know you have updated your material or if you have interest (full MS request/offer) from other agencies or publishers.

❤️ WE REALLY DO WANT TO KNOW THESE THINGS. ❤️

Currently riding the exciting publishing wave! I've been out on submission for one week and had a couple of very positive emails about my 🦦 & 🐊 picture books.

Send luck & positive vibes. ✨️🤞

🔥🌟 I'm delighted to reveal the cover of @stuartwhitewm.bsky.social's latest MG sci-fi novel, illustrated wonderfully by the talented Jen Jamieson 🔥🌟

Astra FireStar and the Ripples of Time is a tale of a young boy from 1990's Glasgow, who runs off with a time fugitive to bring back his dead brother.

Super excited for @stuartwhitewm.bsky.social & Jennifer Jamieson's BIG cover reveal tomorrow!!! Can't wait! Even this sneaky peak looks SUPERB!!

When reading a whole book is work! Love my job! ❤️
