@Louiestowell Hi Louie, I’m going and I’d love to meet for dinner! 😊

I'd really love to find a shiny new gem of an author before the end of the year, please! Nothing gives me a thrill like that just-found-something feeling and I miss it. Open to almost everything but I'm particularly looking for the following:

@FionaWoodcock @abielphinstone @simonschusterUK @_Bright_Agency Congratulations to you both, it looks stunning! 💕

❄️TODAY is paperback publication day of #TheFrostGoblin I hope you get to read this magical story of transformation by @abielphinstone : )❄️

@Bridgeanne @AngliaRuskin Thank you Anne, I’m so glad they helped. Good luck on the MA! 💕

@PicBookCourse @AngliaRuskin Thank you Claire. Your lovely courses gave me confidence to believe I could try to follow them up.

Thank you everyone for the kind prayers and wishes for my interview yesterday. I feel a bit shaky and emotional, because I got in! I will begin a part-time Masters in Children's Book Illustration at @AngliaRuskin this September, and I can hardly believe it!

Hello! I'm running this workshop again in January, it's for anyone who wants to begin writing a picture book - bookings open! tickettailor.com/events/clairea…? #picturebooks

@Bridgeanne @lol_ansell @AngliaRuskin Sorry, I missed this as I’ve not been on here for ages!

@lol_ansell @AngliaRuskin Oh, that is lovely, and so encouraging and exciting to hear! @PicBookCourse - look what at least two of your past students are now doing/are about to do!
