Afternoon all! Remember you can still catch up on all the fabulous #Honkference sessions over on Crowdcast. We also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to @7Stories via the session link buttons. We've raised upwards of £3000 and still counting!

Not sure if all my fellow eggs @TheGEAcademy @Honkference are following #BookIllustrationOfTheDay, but I did a little thread! @LonLiteraryGirl @EditorGoose
I have a few poorly taken photos for #BookIllustrationOfTheDay! But bear with me, these are (imho) great. Kicking off, The Butterfly Ball (illus. Alan Aldridge) was formative in my childhood. Each panel a story. Can you see the fish that won't be caught?

Best thing about #honkference - the emphasis on the K I D S. Keeping these young readers at the forefront as we plan, write and edit. Our work is about them. It’s for them. Thank you @Honkference @TheGEAcademy what a great weekend and a marvellous excuse to ignore my own kids 🤣

An agent is for life, so it's important you get on. Take your time, do your research and go with your gut. Words of wisdom from @domrosevalente and @InklingPress on 'The Author/Agent Relationship' Another great session from @TheGEAcademy #Honkference. Thanks @ELIZFRAT for hosting
