I loved reading through the titles and bios of this year's @BridportPrize winners - so many congratulations to all! Placing 2nd in last year's flash prize was an anchor point for me - and to be shortlisted again this year! The Bridport clan is a true wonder of the writing world.

Yesterday I finished reading a brilliant book called 'Windrush Child' by @BZephaniah
Today, this terrible news, just as our government shuffles itself into yet more heartlessness.
This man brought words and ideas and heart together to extraordinary effect. Thank you. Go well.

What a lovely thought: in a week we will be right in the thick of the first ever @Leaf_Journal conference! I'm still fairly new to the world of researching children's fiction as well as writing it; cannot wait to be (virtually) amongst such excellent company.
Delegates to On Writing for Young People Conference received the papers this morning to watch before the live online sessions on 9th & 10th Nov. We have a handful of tickets left; there's still time to join in eventbrite.co.uk/e/on-writin…

Less than two weeks to go! Can’t wait to get stuck into watching the papers then talking all things #kidslit at #onwriting2023
We did a soft launch yesterday, sharing all the papers with panellists, and we'll do a full launch to all delegates on Saturday. We're so excited that #OnWriting2023 is so nearly upon us. Last few tickets still available: eventbrite.co.uk/e/on-writin…
