The next WeWrite session is on Friday! An informal meet up for kids authors and illustrators - do come along if you fancy it, we’re a very friendly bunch ☺️

World book week went by in a blur of trains and school visits. This year I tried to keep a note of small things that I enjoyed as the week went on.

Thanks so much to everyone who welcomed me or dressed up as one of my characters - you had me smiling all week.

I am completely and utterly bouncing off the walls, tickled pink, kid in a candy store excited to share the cover for BEASTOPIA!

Beastopia has been a bit of a passion project, and I love it so much! I can’t wait to share more about it over the next few months!

Out 2nd Oct 2025

Pre-orders open!

Next #WeWrite session Fri 28 Feb!

What started as a way for authors and illustrators to co-work at the BL has turned into a fun, supportive group of friends.

We swap tips, share opps and have a giggle (sometimes we write too 😂).

All welcome! Hope to see you there!
