Hello @PenguinBooks, My indie book Hanneh is currently sitting at #1 in Hot New Releases in the Disability Fiction category on Amazon Sweden โ€” above one of your titles. No big marketing team. No trending algorithms. Just the story and the readers who found it. Sometimes the books that matter most arenโ€™t the loudest ones.

I feel like people read the word โ€˜poetry bookโ€™ and run away screaming. I blame schools for the boring way in which itโ€™s taught. Making children memorise 25 poems for their exams puts them off reading poetry for life. My poetry books are fun, quirky and insightful. ๐Ÿ”— in ๐Ÿ“

Never make a decision, cut a tie, or go to sleep angry. Morning wonโ€™t let you undo any of it.

Every other Friday, I am taking off work this summer to spend some one on one time with my sweet stepson. Today, we went to the bookstore and are going to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and play Catan together. Whatโ€™s on your summer agenda? โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

Blue thinks everyone is entitled to their opinion on what does/doesnโ€™t belong in modern literature without being mocked, ridiculed, or name-called. Reading and writing are subjective. Always remember that. ๐Ÿ’™

Some modernized classics ๐Ÿคฃ
Perhaps if they were modernised a bit. ๐Ÿ˜† Call me Ishmael, for fuck's sake. Fucking hell, mate, you gonna be or not? It was the best of times, and it was an absolute fucking shitshow.

Kids curse. They just f*ckin do. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Pretending like they donโ€™t and stripping your YA novel of an authentic teenage voice does a disservice to both your book and your readers. So, f*ck it. Drop a couple of swear words in your YA manuscript. ๐Ÿคฌ

โš ๏ธ This is a scammer posing as an author: @NgocNguyenpeter Two different names. Mismatching location. And the usual geolocation of Africa. At least it makes a change from the usual marketing scam intro DMs, I guess. #WritingCommunity #Scam
