Hello, I’m a children’s author from London. My first book, SMALL! is out now. And so’s the sequel: SMALL BITES BACK
Publisher: Everything With Words

https://hannahmoffatt.com/
It’s #BackToSchool time again. #Teachers (especially years 2-4) if you read Small or Small Bites Back with your classes, I’ll gladly do free virtual Q&As with them. There are also worksheets for every chapter on my website. #Reading #PrimarySchool

I have 100% judged this book by its amazing cover. Can’t wait to read it this weekend! #Reading

I have been attempting to learn how to garden this year. This sunflower is my greatest success so far (It’s even taller than me!). #Gardening

Opened the loveliest book post this morning. Finders of the Silverthorn Forest looks utterly delightful. Out 1st May with @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social
Written by Rachel Chivers Coo and illustrated by Laura Catalan.
For readers 7+ #kidlit

If you’re in the mood for buying children’s books (especially mine!) it’s a great time to give @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social a try.
10% of their children’s book sales in Feb go to BookTrust & Scottish Book Trust to fund early years reading support for disadvantaged and vulnerable families in UK.

PLR day is always such a delight. Thank you so much to all the wonderful #libraries that have Small and Small Bites Back on their shelves … and to everyone who borrowed them 💕📚💕

Happy New Year Bluesky!

When you work in @britishlibrary.bsky.social they recommend taking a snap of your locker so you don’t forget it … meaning my phone is full of shots like these!
Thanks a million to the staff at The British Library for making it such a joyful, peaceful place to work. #WritingCommunity

I loved my early read of Grumpfort. Really funny and endearing 💕

Now that’s what I call a flaming Christmas pudding!
Season’s greetings one and all 🎄

Last commute of the year! Hooray!
Feeling so ready for the festive break. Anyone else still in an office today? Sending solidarity 💪🎄

Still got two days of work to go, but re-reading my favourite @matthaig.bsky.social and @chrismould.bsky.social story this morning to get in the festive spirit! I love A Boy Called Christmas so much!
#kidlit
Which books lift your festive spirits?

Had a blast at the @da-childrens.bsky.social Christmas party tonight! Nan’s Bar in Deptford is so much fun. Didn’t take enough pics of author friends. But managed to get one with @aliceemross.bsky.social (and a YA author called Joyce who isn’t on here yet)

I’m officially feeling festive now. My grandma was German and every year my Mum has followed in her footsteps and baked Christmas gingerbread for the whole family before St Nicolas Day on 6th December. The tradition has now passed onto me. My icing needs some work, but the love is there. #Christmas

Had so much fun creating SMALL-inspired swamp creatures with some super imaginative Year 3s this morning. All part of the SEL book festival. #kidlit

Brrr, less blue skies and more snowy skies on my train to Cambridge this morning. If you’re at home #writing today, wrap up warm! ❄️🌨️🥶 #Snow

First outing for the @britishlibrary.bsky.social Christmas jumper today. I love it! #writers #bookworms

Just finished an early read of Jamie Hammond’s Grumpfort. So much fun and heart and a reminder not to judge a monster (or warden) by the stories other people tell about them.
I think fans of Small! would really enjoy it! Out 13 March 2025 with Usbourne #kidlit

Hello #Kidlit Bluesky! It’s been lovely to see so many brilliant bookish folk arriving this week.
If we haven’t met yet, I’m Hannah: writer of sensible corporate things by day (till AI takes my job) and author of very silly kidlit by night.
Here’s a pic of me holding my books!

It’s done! (By which I mean not done at all and at the start of a very long editing process). But the Draft Zero NaNoWriMo part is DONE!
Good luck to anyone still going with the final push!
November 30, 2023 at 8:16 PM
10,000 words into NaNoWriMo already. I wish I could crush word counts like this the rest of the year!
If you’re a wrimo too, I hope it’s going well!
November 6, 2023 at 9:28 PM
Is anyone doing NaNoWriMo on Scrivener? And have you figured out how to connect the template to automatically update your word count? I’ve downloaded the 2023 template but get an error when I try and do the update…
November 1, 2023 at 9:51 AM
Anyone else got a shiny new notebook for NaNoWriMo prep?
Here’s mine (wishing I’d started filling it a little sooner!) 😂✍🏻

What time do families usually go trick or treating? I’ve got all my Small Bites Back vampire treats ready … but will I make it back from work in time?
