This morning, sitting with all the things I’d want a brand new author to know rushing through my mind, as I write notes for an event on Sunday. Our job is both strange and wonderful, truly.

So, I’m starting to pull together my lists of creators and bloggers for my 2025 (spring/ summer) books, and I think it might be the time and place to say… who here is interested in YA/ teen, around historical, contemporary, romantasy, fantasy, and a little bit of mystery/ thriller… #booksky

It’s really quite lovely to have a (booky) thought and just to be able to put it here. It feels like a timeline jump, where we hopefully have something good and community like again. Long may it last…

This is a thing of beauty - so useful, and inspiring, too!
My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...
