So excited that this book - the first in a new series! - is published this year! It's a mystery set at MI5 during the First World War, with a cast of girl characters that I love so much.

Just dropped @hollywebb.bsky.social and friends off at the station on their way to the protest at the new trans-exclusionary Girlguiding policy. So proud of them all. (Their signs are fab.) I gather some folks are bringing binliners for a post-protest litter-pick - the most Girlguiding thing ever.

Ready, set - GO! Two fantastic new #LittleGems for Spring 2026. When tortoise Albert runs away, Ava realises her pet may not be as boring as she thought in new @hollywebb.bsky.social, while Hana and Ace learn to take time to enjoy the moment in new #VashtiHardy #MoonlightMysteryAgency

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

You tell yourself that, darling.

I was practically a permanent resident in South Norwood Library as a child. Writers and illustrators, please do sign this open letter. Library cuts slowly steal away opportunities for creative children - all children, actually.

Open letter from Authors and Illustrators to Lambeth Council in support of Lambeth Libraries. A call to halt the proposed £1m cut! Dear Lambeth councillors and officers, We are authors, illustrators, and book industry workers writing to ask you in the strongest of terms to halt the cuts to Lambeth Libraries that you announced las...

Authors and illustrators (and both) of Bluesky! I've shared the petition about the lambeth library cuts, but they'd LOVE some more authors to sign this open letter. #KidLitUK docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A shelf of archive boxes

Orkney Library & Archive is a library AND an archive but did you know about the miniature library that is stored IN the archive?

Read on to find out more about the incredible Minervian Library, created by a group of young children in #Orkney more than 160 years ago.

So glad to see this. Creatives should be paid for use of our work. I've filled in the government consultation - I really hope it makes a difference...

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
