London friends: signed copies of #TheNotwitches are now on sale in Owl Bookshop in Kentish Town, Foyles Charing Cross, Daunts Marylebone and Waterstones Piccadilly and Charing Cross. I know they're there because I just spent a very fun afternoon signing them.

Tomorrow I'm doing my first ever reading from #TheNotwitches in front of actual people, so I would very much appreciate your thoughts and prayers. 🙏

#TheNotwitches comes out tomorrow (hooray!) so I thought I'd give this a go tonight. Hit me up with any questions you'd like to ask about the book or anything else, and I'll pop back on later to answer anything that gets sent in.

Hello there! Just popping in to let you all know that my debut children's novel, THE NOTWITCHES, is being published by the lovely people at Chicken House Books next February, with illustrations by the wonderful Dotty Sutton.

Introducing Team Notwitches: me and the brilliant illustrator Dotty Sutton. Pic 2 is of the book's hero, Melanda, which Dotty drew live on stage yesterday while I read from the book for the first time. I cannot wait for you all to meet #TheNotwitches.

Possibly not the done thing to post screengrabs from X on here but I couldn't resist sharing this wonderful review of #TheNotwitches from the lovely people at @telltales.bsky.social

Woot woot! #TheNotwitches is @booktrust.org.uk's Book of the Day. And if you can't trust a trust, then who can you trust, right?

A really lovely blog post here from @arenaillustration.bsky.social about wonderful Dotty Sutton and the massive role she played in creating the visuals and character design of #TheNotwitches. Dotty's funny, playful, spooky art is just a perfect match for the world I wanted to create with the book.

Bringing characters to life is the best part of my job, and Gary made it very easy with his hilarious descriptions. Aunt Claggy is one of my favourite characters I have ever drawn!

Set myself a little challenge of trying to make #TheNotwitches characters out of LEGO and I'm very pleased with the results if I do say so myself. All based on the brilliant character designs of Dotty Sutton.

Still a few days left to win a copy of #TheNotwitches signed by me and Dotty Sutton - details below! 👇

Thanks to The Week magazine for including this lovely little write-up for #TheNotwitches in their latest issue. Thanks also to @krahim.bsky.social for sending me this pic! (And of course I need to make the obligatory mention of the fact that The Notwitches 2 is out NEXT WEEK! 🥳).

Quick shameless plug just to say that signed copies of #TheNotwitches are now available at Waterstones in Perth, Stirling & Edinburgh Princes Street, plus Edinburgh indies Toppings, Portobello Books, Golden Hare Books & the Edinburgh Book Shop. Here's my cheesy grin after signing a bundle in Perth.

Massive thanks to Anna Bonet at The I Paper for including #TheNotwitches in this list of summer reads for kids. It's been so lovely to see reviewers embrace the book's silliness (which very much continues in the upcoming sequel, in case you're wondering!).

Exciting new addition to my lanyard collection today. 😍 #TheNotwitches

Tiny reminder for any Perth peeps out there that I'm doing a free event at Waterstones this Saturday morning at 11am. Bring your kids (or even just yourself) along for some reading, colouring and interactive fun. I'll also sign copies of #TheNotwitches and do a Q&A. Hopefully see some of you there!

My first advance copy of #TheNotwitches just arrived in the post and it suddenly all feels wonderfully, wonderfully real.
December 21, 2024 at 10:39 AM
Oh this is a great idea. I'm Gary Panton, author of #TheNotwitches, a comedy adventure series for kids. Book 1 is out now, with Book 2 on the way! #writersliftwednesday
February 26, 2025 at 7:52 AM
Mega-thanks to the lovely people at @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social for marking the upcoming release of #TheNotwitches by bestowing upon me the gift of cheese! It will be a highly cheesy weekend round my place: that much I can promise.
February 6, 2025 at 4:28 PM
And #TheNotwitches is out in the world ... NOW. It's the best thing I've ever done and I can't wait for people to see it. You can find all the order links at garypanton.co.uk/books/ - but please do consider buying from a local independent book shop if you have one. I hope it makes you all smile!😊
February 13, 2025 at 7:48 AM
First ever live event for #TheNotwitches is in the bag. Well and truly in at the deep end in front of a few hundred kids on World Book Day. Absolutely terrifying but SO. MUCH. FUN. If needed, I will now be asleep for the rest of the day.
March 6, 2025 at 12:38 PM
I have one spare copy of #TheNotwitches signed by me and Dotty Sutton, and I'd like to give it away to one of my followers on here. If you want it, just like this post by the end of 6th April and I'll randomly choose someone to send it to (UK-based only I'm afraid). Any reposts appreciated too. 🧙‍♀️🧡
