Reclamation: On Fury and Loving Sylvia Plath I have always been angry.

new lil substack :)

absolutely! 🥰

❤️❤️❤️

That was so fun! Thank you so much! 🥰 #ukteenchat

Don't take writing advice too seriously! Trust yourself and your instincts. Follow what excites you and do what feels right to you. You've got this! #ukteenchat

It's just so fun to go with the flow and see what happens!

Something wildly different! Adult creative-non-fiction in verse! (although I'm playing with an idea for a YA as well!) #ukteenchat

Pantser forever! I can't plan at all! I write with no idea what will happen and completely out of order. I'm 100% at the mercy of my mood and whatever pops into my mind. I do pinterest a lot though! #ukteenchat

Life would be so much more boring if we stopped learning! #ukteenchat

Mostly I think I'm just more confident! TDB was my second book and I was terrified that my first book had been a total fluke, that I'd fooled everyone, that I wouldn't be able to do it again. Now I have more faith in my writing ability and I know my own style much better! #ukteenchat

I trust my characters. I write for everyone so I let the characters guide me and I follow what they need! I don't approach the actual writing any differently ☺️ #ukteenchat

That you don't need to know everything about yourself to BE yourself. That learning about yourself is a lovely, exciting, fascinating thing. That someone somewhere gets it. That community is a special thing. That you deserve the time, space and grace to learn who you are. ❤️ #ukteenchat

I'm so glad you like them! They can seem so strange and intimidating but they are very friendly! #ukteenchat

There may or may not be a... hand holding scene! 😮

(it's very sweet and meant the world to me!)

- theme and message. Personally- I really just love verse very, very much. It comes very naturally to me, I don't think I could write a book in prose! It's beautiful and fun and so liberating as a writer #ukteenchat

For readers: it's just so accessible. It can seem intimidating but it has rhythm, space and shape that make it so wonderful to read. Also, less words 😆 It's the perfect form for themes like mental health because every word is so deliberate and it gets straight to the heart of the - #ukteenchat

There is!! Ah, I'm so glad you liked it!

It's so important!

The Deepest Breath was adapted by a New York theatre company, Treehouse Shakers. Seeing the play made me so desperate to check in & see how my wee characters were doing! It was so inspiring. I was curious to see how they would handle a new school & new challenges. (Also I missed them!) #ukteenchat

It really was!

It's a follow-up to my book The Deepest Breath! In this one we follow Stevie, Andy & Chloe as they start secondary school. The girls are super excited to join the Rainbow Club but suddenly Andy starts to distance himself and they don't know why. It's about friendship, anxiety & identity #ukteenchat

So excited! Thanks for having me! #ukteenchat
