My wardrobe has had a joyfully gender-affirming overhaul during the last two years and never getting to wear it out of the house sucks, so I am posting my “office” outfits every day for January on Instagram to counteract my gloom at WFH.

I'm thrilled to shout out about, A PONY TO OWN, the first book in my Paddock Grove Equestrian School series! Published in summer by @WalkerBooksUK Living out my childhood dream writing pony books! And a huge thanks to @NonPratt on her brilliant editing and joy we're having creating this series. "When scholarship student George gets a scruffy cob named Bear (based on one of my own naughty ponies, Boo!) instead of a polished show pony, fitting in to an elite Paddock Grove boarding school seems like quite the challenge. Can this mismatched pair prove they belong?

Story of my life 😆🤣

I felt like I’d forgotten how to read a book. (You don’t read submissions the way you do finished books and the way I read fic is like reading lots of short stories.) Anyway. I burned through this *so fast*. So grateful to this book for showing me my reading isn’t broken.

I've just devoured Best Friends Forever from @lisa_letters It's fresh, sparky and filled with humour & heart. The wonderfully layered characters are pitched perfectly in a refreshing narrative which normalises friendship & personalities shifting & changing as we grow... 1/2

[doing things I’m bad at] “ugh, I suck at everything” [doing things I’m good at] “this doesn’t count cuz it’s easy for me”

I'm going on (again!) about the importance of hook, and working with it right from the start. It might not be for everyone but I think it's a brilliant way to craft commercial fiction - and it makes my job SO much easier!

Sitting on the sofa with the teen after a walk to the shops to get snacks, sniffing each other and describing how we smell and now companionably watching the West Wing and drawing. Fuck me, but if parenting isn’t the absolute nuts at times.

Me, when @Louiestowell wrote the outline for this story: Are you sure you want to draw this many bicycles? Louie: Hold my beer. Me now: … *bicycles* …
