A great story needs great characters! 🦸♀️🦹🧜♀️🧙♂️🧛

ALT A dark background with colourful cartoon illustrations: rainbows, dinosaurs, pirate ships, ghosts, hot air balloons. Text reads: to write a great story, you need characters that stand out! When people read your story, they should feel as if they really know and understand the characters. Even if it's a villain who they super definitely don't want to know or even meet in real life!

I've finally had a minute to reflect on all things from our inaugural @SailFestUK event and I still can't quite believe we managed to pull it off. There was so much energy and excitement in the room.

If you’re on insta take some time watching this incredible soul, @Zendibble, unpacking her latest book, talking about the riots, how they threatened to drown her spirits and how she came back to us.
How lucky we are.
And: Meet the Maliks Book 3!! (29/8)

Fancy finding @Zendibble books in Antalya.
So hot out here.
We decided to sit in the shade after a day of #LandofLegends in 38 -41 degrees heat- and found a book shop with limited English language books- this was one!
Feel really proud.
