🙏🏻Yay @irishexaminer.bsky.social on my new YA verse: ⭐"Fisher’s groundbreaking book handles multiple big subjects with delicacy, care, and respect for her audience. Certain to spark essential conversations around stealthing, consent, and unplanned pregnancies." Was my plan! 😍

😍 Hip hoorah, it's publication day! 🤗 If you've read NOT GOING TO PLAN, PLEASE take a moment to leave an honest review on Amazon (or other booksellers' websites) and GoodReads. I can't tell you how much this helps an author - the books are a bit invisible otherwise.

Jean Sylvester is a complex teenager, with well-realised issues about family, friends and love-life. Her discovery that infinite parallel universes exist which had me completely gripped. Who would she have been if she'd made different decisions? And how would her relationships be different? ... 1/2

It's nearly two years since its launch, but my debut, Crossing the Line, is still proving the how teens like the combination of a topical story (county lines) and accessible verse. Look at tonight's ranking! 🎁@hotkeybooks.bsky.social @evewhiteagency.bsky.social

🧵 1/5

Just finished Glasgow Boys by Margaret McDonald … Writing that made me cry. Why?

1. Being inside the heads of Finlay and Banjo was emotionally eviscerating (in a good way 🤣).

WRITERS! When it’s 3am, you’re reading yourself back to sleep and you discover the SECOND YA book published this year with the same character pairing and major plot themes as your YA WIP …. Should I give up / swerve / plod on regardless?

Kelly McCaughrain's soon-to-be-released #LittleBang is a much-needed book for teens and young adults who may be struggling with the reality of an unwanted pregnancy, set in context of the NI referendum on abortion. It's important. It's ground-breaking. Pre-order now! www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Bang-...
