@spirotta @AuthorsAloudUK @AuthorsAbroad_ @LeedsSLS @hull_libraries Hey gorgeous man. Could I ask how much you charge to come into schools please? I’d absolutely love to see you again xxx

I still have some dates available for school visits around world book day. Get in touch at saviourpirotta.com or @AuthorsAloudUK @AuthorsAbroad_ @LeedsSLS @hull_libraries #GoAllIn2026 #NationalYearOfReading, #ReadingForAll #ReadMore

@spirotta @AuthorsAloudUK @AuthorsAbroad_ @LeedsSLS Ooo we need to talk!

Due to some unforeseen cancellations, I now have dates available for school visits around World Book Day 2026. @AuthorsAloudUK @AuthorsAbroad_ @LeedsSLS

@redgierob Ooo well, snozzcumber is BFG, Heffslump is Winnie the Pooh. Quaffed is Harry Potter so the youngest and I seem to think that chortled is in Alice in wonderland? If so, I’m not sure if that came before Winnie the Pooh but I think it did?

BOOK GIVEAWAY!!! I'm not on social media much at the moment, working very hard on my new book, which I think will be my best yet when it's done! In the meantime, I'm giving away signed copies of all my books so far. RT & like to enter, & say which book you'd like. Closes Dec 5!

@whatSFSaid @PwjaReading I’d love to share a copy of Phoenix with my children x

@andyjshepherd @templarbooks Your son is fabulous! X

I do love a stamp and this one is extra special as it’s a Lino cut made by my son inspired by Sarah’s wonderful artwork. Looking forward to signing copies of The Boy Who Grew Dragons A Christmas Delivery! @templarbooks

@OnjaliRauf You are an inspiration for so many and we teach our children as much as possible about you and through your books! Xxx

It's Publication Day for my brand new book baby today. But I now know from experience that many of my gorgeous readers won't know that. The (legally protected) "belief" that #women exist as a sex holds Great Power. To make books invisible. So lmk if you see this one around👑

@andyjshepherd I even apologise if I trip over a root lol

Have you ever looked at a tree and seen a face staring back? Well, next time you do, stop staring and say hello. I had so much fun growing the tree characters in #TheWoodWhereMagicGrows. Here's a few of the faces I’ve spotted recently. I'd love to see any you meet!

When I was a child, my grandfather would take me to bookshops as a treat. They're still where I go when I want to feel inspired. So I'm blown away that Tyger is a Barnes & Noble Monthly Pick. THANK YOU to all the amazing booksellers out there - it really means the world to me!
