I’m going to try and post every day until I get a World Book Day booking, let’s see if it works!

I am a children’s author with ADHD who LOVES doing super energetic events. If you haven’t got a writer for World Book Day for you school, please get in touch as I’m happy to travel all over for events.

Morning awesome people!

I have spots open for 📚World Book Day events at your school on March 4th, 5th and 6th!

💥I offer SUPER interactive glow in the dark events where I introduce kids to African Mythology and give kids the inside scoop on being a published writer.

Please DM me for details 🙏🏾

A graphic in a greenish colour about the National Literacy Trust Primary Conference 2026. On the right we see three girls of about 8, two white, one Black, all sitting on beanbags and looking at an e-reader while one of them clutches a print book. The conference is on the 20th March at The British Library. It's called Beyond the book: Routes into reading. The graphic also has my name and job on: Louie Stowell, Children's author

To celebrate the #NationalYearOfReading2026, I'm speaking at the @literacy-trust.bsky.social annual primary conference at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social. It's on 20th March 26, book here: literacytrust.org.uk/events/prima...

Doing a PhD means begging for money, like all the time. 🥲🫶🏾

Learning new platforms is annoying, but I guarantee you it is worth it because you don't want to depend on any single one of these apps/sites. It's inevitable that they will try and shut down one thing or the other but if we are flexible, we can stay a step ahead. Digital ungovernability, y'all-

Thanks for boosting lovely 💖

It’s that time of year again! I can’t wait to meet as many kids as possible during this World Book Month 🥰💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I’m fully booked from the 4th-10th of March but I am offering discounted rates for March visits outside those dates ☺️✌🏾✨

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Esp with all the fanfare about casting in a Nigeria. Disappointing and tiring

I feel that the SAME specific energy used used to draw from Orisa Goddesses, Yoruba goddesses who were depicted as darkskin Yoruba women which informs the entire basis of the story should be the SAME energy that is used to cast accurately.

As a Yoruba woman who also draws from Yoruba mythology in her writing, it is disappointed to see ZERO Yoruba women casted. And before we talk about it being so difficult to find specifically Yoruba women, they managed just fine with our men. Which smells of misogynoir.

I can already hear the wakanda accent from the Children of Blood and Bone movie. I love how they managed to find multiple Yoruba men but somehow we are going to have Amandla Stenberg representing Yoruba women?)

The reviews for Kòkú always melt my heart 😭🫶🏾

You’re my favourite type of human! It’s a sci-fi involving Black university students and time travel 🥰 but here’s a link to my newest book out now:

I would love to join this collective btw if it’s happening!

Thank you! It’s getting ridiculous but that’s how I like my books

My new book is like 99% shenanigans, I think I may need to add more

Back on this app, after a little mental health break 🥰💕 my edges have grown in and my loc fringe has grown quite a bit, what else is new?

Just started a PhD in African Art and I’m using it as an opportunity to explore African British culture in more depth. Would love to connect with Black people in the heritage space across the diaspora🥰🙏🏾 #AddToBlacksky

You seem so cool!!! I just started a PhD in African Art at the University of Birmingham, I’m doing a cultural exploration of the diasporic experience of British Yorubas when they encounter their art in UK museums. I would love to talk PhD stuff 🙏🏾💕

Where is the Blacksky option? I would like to opt in pls😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love my Oriki name so much - Ayinke means born to be pampered and it suits me SO well.

Does anyone else have an Oriki name or a special cultural name that’s important to them?

Well I like seeing nice stuff so still happy for you!

This makes me feel so cosy, I can smell spicy stew bubbling and hear my siblings yelling my name to look at them do something stupid. 😭🫶🏾
