Please share widely - the second year of the Martha Mills Young Writers’ Prize. We’re thrilled to have the wonderful Philip Pullman as a judge - Martha was such a fan of his books

Happy Publication Day!
#YouAreHere is a triumph!
So human, joyful, moving, and *FUNNY* … I didn’t want it to end.
Perfect timing too, am sending 🎧📖 to my ma for her birthday🎈
David Nicholls you are a genius 👏
Congratulations also to Federico AndornINo

This is so awful and so shaming

If you’re writing for children or young adults & you’re ready to share your work with agents, keep me in mind. I’m looking for a fabulous new writer to work with. Open to anything a young person might love. Picture books, 5+, non-fiction, MG or YA. amheath.com

“To open the door, walk out and keep going; it was such an appealing idea, that combination of freedom and peril..”

A wonderful piece by David Nicholls on the peculiar pleasure of long, soggy solo walks. ⁦David Nicholls⁩ ⁦The Guardian⁩ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

📖 News:
⁦Marian Keyes⁩’ brand new novel
MY FAVOURITE MISTAKE is as funny, warm, pacey, honest & outrageous as you’d expect (God, I ❤️ her). Note: if you like audiobooks this one is narrated (brilliantly) by the author herself 💯⁩ ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦Penguin Michael Joseph⁩

Happy Publication Day to the fabliss Marian Keyes and #MyFavouriteMistake ! What heaven to be in the company of the Walshes again! Wish it could go on forever

Currently reading AMY AND ISABELLE by the incredible Elizabeth Strout.
A story of ordinary women that manages to be both ordinary and radical. If you loved Olive Kitteridge you’ll love this. Maybe even more.

📖 News: THE HAUNTED WOOD - A History of Childhood Reading by ⁦Sam Leith 🐝⁩ is a truly wonderful book that explores the magic of formative reading. Out in September from ⁦Oneworld Publications⁩

Amazed and gratified by the love that my hedge thread has received. 726k views in 24 hours. Thank you all.🙏 As a result we've decided to offer some of you a chance to actually come A-HEDGING in September. (1/4)

Wonderfully funny
Her best book yet!
