Aaaaaah I’m so in shock to have won the Cheshire Novel Prize Kids! I keep going back to check that I’ve not somehow imagined the whole thing. Massive congratulations to my fellow authors on the shortlist, and thank you to all the judges!

✨SUBMISSIONS OPEN - 12PM TODAY!✨ Do you: 🍂Live in the UK or Ireland? 🍂Have a finished or unfinished MG novel for children aged 7-11? We're opening a 24 hour submission period here at Chicken House this Autumn Equinox (22nd September) Details➡️ loom.ly/LX7qCic

Massive thank you to @Schoolbookclubs for this Alex Wheatle bundle! We’ll be discussing the Crongton series in Book Club next week - can’t wait!

I was planning on doing a giveaway to celebrate being agented, and with all the ugliness on show atm, it makes sense to do it now & offer it to anyone underrepresented. Lots are already doing query critiques etc, so you can choose from: - 1 month’s PM subscription (cont..)
