Narrative games by Simon Heath Reid - new game coming in 2026.
The marvellous Sally Beaumont, everyone 👏

So talented, so much fun to work with and so supportive of others’ work in narrative games. Really excellent news.
I'm a BAFTA Breakthrough 2025!

I'm honoured to be amongst such an incredible cohort, and for BAFTA to recognise my work on Old Skies!

As a disabled, female, performer-writer in games, I am so proud to show what we can do, and with BAFTA's support the sky's the limit!

Waterstones Children's Laureate @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social is a total force for good - here's a reminder of what his time in the role is all about!

And he has big plans for 2025, kicking off by bringing together key figures for a #ReadingRights summit in January! Stay tuned...

I didn’t think that final episode of #WolfHall would make me laugh, but there was the scene between Cromwell and the Duke of Suffolk (Richard Dillane).
“Well, that was my idea, and now I’ve delivered it, so uh…”

Interesting article on a bit of an institutional problem in children’s publishing…

I’ve noticed that there are more and better books in this category than a few years ago, but plenty of room for more! The Alligator’s Mouth Award is a great guide to some of the best stuff that fills the gap.
"The ghost of this old publishing model, based on long-obsolete printing technologies, still haunts the high-tech 21st-century headquarters of our big publishing corporations."
A great article by @juliangough.bsky.social on the missing books for 5-to-7-year-olds.

Pleased with this little clip-on reading light I recently bought - especially handy during this weekend's power cuts.
