Today I'm announcing that Aralyn Press will be publishing my children's book in November 2025! Have a look at the full story on my blog: rachelpattinson.co.uk/blog/aralyn-pr… And thanks to Helen at The Unicorn Factory UK for the lovely Press logo. #amwriting

Testing, testing... 👀

I held my book launch event for 'Seven: Distracted Detective' last night! It was so lovely to celebrate Aralyn Press' publication of this children's story, with lots of people who've supported me along the way. #books #amwriting @NCLStartUp

@AmberCaraveo Thanks Amber, that's so nice of you to say! I hope so. There's more than one way to publish, and I would still consider traditional publishing routes in the future - I think both get books out into the world, so in my view, equally valid.

@rachelalmost Hello. Just read your piece on luck & wanted to say I found it so inspiring. Children’s Publishing is such a difficult industry but you’ve made space for yourself and that’s so impressive. Best of luck to you! I’m sure you’ve helped many others with this article. 😊

Winning a major children’s book award wasn’t enough. So I’m publishing my debut myself, says Rachel Pattinson (@rachelalmost) in our recent Comment piece 👇 ebx.sh/Odz3jq
