So thrilled that Things I Learned While I Was Dead is a finalist in the People’s Book prize alongside my Faber sister @KenechiUdogu Augmented. It’s decided by the public and if you feel inclined to vote I’d be forever grateful: peoplesbookprize.com/2025-bo…

Fantasy gives you "the ability to lose yourself completely. As a writer and as a reader."
Our latest issue #BfK278 just got even better! Don't miss our new interview: author Natasha Bowen talks dragons with Tanja Jennings 🐲

Today is the 20th #MEAwarenessDay since I've been ill. It’s difficult for us to get the word out about this debilitating illness but one way is through the power of books📚
Here are some which feature ME representation (yes, some of them are by me, sorry about that)

I was extremely fortunate to attend the Young Poet Laureate poetry masterclass at Faber and Faber with one of my Year 5 pupils yesterday. The programme, organised by the @NatPoetryCentre and the @Literacy_Trust, is outstanding.

When you look closely at the exceptional quality of books that Knights Of produced over the past few years, it's hard not to feel a real sense of loss.
We need more diverse and representative independent children's publishers, not fewer.
