Always fab to connect through poetry especially with East Kent Mencap & Festival of Cats , we couldn’t do it without you MargateBookie 🙏

Let's Get Practical with @weave_and_read T. S. Eliot Foundation East Kent Mencap @margatebookie, Bernadettedq and - pulling it all together - the mighty Billie Elspeth Penfold Pen

Happy May Day! 🌾🌞💀

This is my ‘Wicker Man’ risograph print adapted from a cursed linocut print where the sacrifices I made to the print gods had only limited acceptability which led to a poor harvest of final prints.

NUMBER ONE!!! Skandar and the Chaos Trials is #1 bestseller in the children’s charts in its 1st week. AND NUMBER 2 in the entire books market!
I don’t have enough capital letters for this—thank you to all the fans who came back for Book 3! And to Simon & Schuster Children's Books YOU ARE PURE MAGIC!

To those unpublished writers querying agents, or on submission (I know, it’s hell!), ‘The Vanishing of Margaret Small’ was rejected by over 50 UK editors before she got a deal here. Trust the process. Learn from it. But most of all, believe in - and be kind to - yourself 💛

Throwback to sun-kissed shores and literary delights at Margate Bookie 2023! Huge thanks to everyone who made it unforgettable. 🙌

Featuring captivating moments with A C Grayling #FBPE #Reform #Rejoin #FBPR and Tessa Hadley, beautifully captured by Ben Bowles. ✨ #MargateBookie
