Editorial Director @TorvaBooks @TransworldBooks. 11th funniest Tweeter of the week according to the Telegraph, and Bill Murray once threw a pineapple at my head



At the hotel in Frankfurt there was a publishing convention and every room was taken, parties all night. I didn’t know there were so many book publishers in the world. I was trying to find Crystal Lake Publishing so I could congratulate them on publishing The Great God Pan, one of my favorite books. I thought they might be interested in some of my stories. Unfortunately it was too crowded and I never did find them.

My book is now being advertised on the @PenguinUKBooks site: penguin.co.uk/authors/297954… Endless thanks to my brilliant editor, @hanateraiewood!

The wait is over… presenting the #BGPrize2024 shortlist. Read more here: thebailliegiffordprize.co.uk/inside-the-cov… #nonfiction #bookrecommendations @isabelhilton @newsbrook @alisonflood @pghoskin @tomowolade





Heartfelt congratulations to Rosie Ainsworth at @TransworldBooks for winning the Spotlight Award for Creativity for work on #AbroadinJapan, which featured a 3D billboard in Southwark covered in cherry blossoms. A visual treat for the eyes! #BMSAwards

It’s been a week… what were your Hyde Park highlights?!


Hyde Park: last night was absolutely sensational, that was one of my favourite shows ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️


Today 19 year old Lloyd Martin became the youngest known person with Down syndrome to complete a marathon. Thank you for showing us what’s possible, Lloyd. ❤️
