Grief is a funny (not at all funny) thing. I had to speak about my dad in the past tense today for the first time in random conversation. I’m sure it came across as casual to the person I was speaking to, but 2 weeks in it definitely didn’t feel that way.
Oh wow! Fred is flying his way to readers already! Thank you @nj13 for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed this fairytale, in which dresses and dreams are for everyone and wishes really do come true! 🧚🏽♂️🪡✨ @StefMurphyArt @KidsBloomsbury

Thank you @FlyingEyeBooks for inviting me (and my children) along to yesterday’s book launch at the wonderful @talesonmoonlane. It was lovely to see Emily Ann Davison & @KarenSwann_ again and to finally meet @bobtregoning & @John_Condon_OTT in real life.
The plan for this week: writing, gift wrapping and birthday cake baking. But I’ll mostly be wondering how my tiny baby can possibly be turning 12 already! 🫣😬 #kids #parenting
This is so exciting! Congratulations @RachDavisAuthor and @FizOsborne!

Thank you, #PassthePen partner @pippagoodhart 💖 for inviting me as a guest on @PictureBookDen. Q&As covered: doing an MA in kids Lit, working in publishing, having a Bajan/Yorkshire heritage and working with @rebecca_cobb on #TheresATigerOnTheTrain🐯 @FaberChildrens @Booktrust
In today’s first #WorldBookDay2024 assembly I was asked what year I was born in (long long ago in the previous millennium), how old I am, how old my parents are and whether I’ve written any books inspired by the titanic. I think I may need to up the anti-aging cream!
Before and after from today’s #worldbookday visit to @SchoolPalatine. Still happy, but a little sweaty and with an extra 12,000 steps in the bag! I hope you everyone has had a chance to read something that makes them smile today! #worldbookday2024 #authorlife
Happy World Book Day! I hope it’s filled with bookish loveliness for everyone! I’m off to a special school for the day for lots of sensory story times, superhero dancing and makaton 😊 #WorldBookDay #WorldBookDay2024 #authorlife
As our World Book Week crescendos to the big day tomorrow, there has been a literacy buzz at school all week. Our Pre-Prep thoroughly enjoyed their visit by children's author Kate Thompson. Thank you, @writes_kate for sharing your enthusiasm & love for literacy #author #WBD
Thank you so much for visiting us 💛
Thank you so much for visiting us 💛
What a SUPER day I’ve had today! Lots of talking about books, reading books and making books, plus some awesome superhero moves! Every child from reception through to year 2 made their very own superhero finger puppet book. 🥰#WorldBookDay #WorldBookDay2024 #AuthorLife
I’ve just had a primary school contact me. Their WBD author had to cancel for Thurs? Any chance any authors or illustrators in South London have a cancellation and have Thursday free?
My 9yo came bounding out of school after meeting @vashti_hardy today. Thank you to all the authors doing school visits this #WorldBookDay week - they make a huge difference. 🥰
@WorldBookDayUK is nearly upon us and as is tradition parents, carers (and school librarians...) start rummaging through thier wardrobes in a panic! Luckily dressing as the little boy from There's a Tiger On The Train (illus @rebecca_cobb) is super easy 🐯 💖! @FaberChildrens
120 blank finger puppet books made, wigs and toys washed and brushed, and many many Makaton signs learned. I think I’m finally ready for next week’s #WorldBookDay visits! I can’t wait! #AuthorLife

@writes_kate I’m so sorry to hear about your dads passing, Kate. Sending love. X
@writes_kate It is hard. I still struggle after 32 years 😢
@writes_kate Sorry to hear about your dad.
@writes_kate 💔💔💔 I still don’t like doing it a year on. It feels like a betrayal.
@writes_kate 😟🥲😘 I know how hard that is xx
@writes_kate I'm so sorry. It's so tough 💔
when you write a synopsis & the book chooses not to follow the synopsis & you complain to the person in charge but apparently you are the person in charge??
We’re so excited for Banana Hunt by @Suzy_Senior, illus. by Josh Cleland, that we made our own!🍌✨ Watch the members of the children’s team find the pink bananas around the Templar office.👀
Oh wow! Fred is flying his way to readers already! Thank you @nj13 for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed this fairytale, in which dresses and dreams are for everyone and wishes really do come true! 🧚🏽♂️🪡✨ @StefMurphyArt @KidsBloomsbury
I adored this picture book about A Fairy called Fred, a dressmaker who grants wishes and designs a dress for Joshua when he is invited to a princess party. Told in rhyme, children will love it. Thanks @NetGalley_UK @bobtregoning @KidsBloomsbury
Back home after an incredible trip to Bologna! Simply wouldn’t have been there without my @ace_national funding. It was brilliant to see how all the cogs fit together in the book publishing machine and felt incredibly fortunate to meet so many wonderful people 💛 #BCBF2024
writing advice: write the book you want to read writer after 9687 edits: I no longer want to read it
Utterly thrilled to say that I am now represented by Gemma Cooper at The Bent Agency 🥳🥳🥳 What a rollercoaster these past few weeks have been but I'm so excited for what's to come!
Facebook has reminded me that 15 years ago today I posted back my first ever signed publishing contract. (Pre-DocuSign days!) What a journey it’s been since.
This chimes so much! As a bookseller I have noticed that the books we're hoping to sell and the books children want to read are wider and wider apart. So much of middle grade publication is for adults - it's not accessible by 99% of kids in the age range.
From an educator perspective, much of MG is only accessible to a small amount of children who read above their grade level and can handle longer books. Why? Because MG, for quite some time, has been written for adults. Text complexity is too high and book length is too long.

Ok y'all. I'm asking this seriously because I can't comprehend. Why is it exactly that MG is dying? How can this be possible? Is the entire population of 8-12 year old readers just going to cease to exist? Will readers go straight from Junie B. Jones to YA? Make it make sense
@writes_kate Kate - this is SO cute! I think a certain yeti would be pretty impressed with the likeness!👀🥰
I just managed to persuade a wee lady in Waterstones to swap a DW for Mega Robo Bros: Power Up for her great grandson. Am rewarding myself with a sit down and a cake. 😁📚🍰
