A list of books put together by Sands' bereavement support team for World book Day, including No One Talks About This Stuff, the "support group in a book" anthology I edited featuring 22 essays by people with skin in the game of almost-parenthood in all its forms.

A really nice book-related thing for me, albeit with limited costume possibilities: the bereavement team at the baby loss charity Sands has picked No One Talks About This Stuff as one of its top picks for World Book Day.

New Episode - I chat with Dr Ben Sedley - psychologist, author & speaker. You'll here about Ben's career path, his foundations in rock & his work helping people of all ages cope with life's challenges through self-compassion and ACT.

The beautiful blue and gold cover for my book It's Not A Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult. At the top, there's a quote from Bryony Gordon: "An incisive, brilliantly written and - above all - deeply comforting book."

Hello! For ADHD Awareness Month, the bionic text eBook of 'It's Not a Bloody Trend' is down to £2.99.

If you find you have trouble with your eyes sliding off words, bionic text is a wonderful innovation that makes it much, much easier to read a book: www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Not-Bloo...

I’ve just discovered your alt text descriptions. Magnificent. Need to up my game.

Hello from ADHD me who was just idly wondering when the paperback edition of It’s Not a Bloody Trend was coming out (I’ve been away) and blow me, it’s TODAY! With a lovely new quote from Bryony Gordon and everything! Thank you so much to Andrew and everyone at Robinson and Millie at United Agents!

It's #ADHDAwarenessMonth and one very good way to become more aware is to read It's Not a Bloody Trend, by @katbrownwrites.com, which is out in paperback this very day - retailer links here: www.hachette.co.uk/titles/kat-b...

Have you seen they have been filming the sequel in the UK? In a new estate that weirdly looks like New England just behind the dump near my parents' house. Lots of excitement on my local Facebook group about Sandra B being spotted.

Picuture showing forthcoming book, called 'Keep your hair on: understanding urges to pick, pull and bite' by Clare Mackay, which will be launched in April 2026

Big news!

I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite.

I can't wait to share it with you! It's out on April 2nd, and is available to pre-order now.

Brown added of the Unbound situation: “I’m in a WhatsApp group with 88 other ex-Unbound/Boundless authors, all of whom have felt utterly sick at the thought of letting down everyone who supported our books.” She added that “there are so many brilliant ideas waiting to be picked up from Unbound authors… all backed by hundreds of readers.”

One day I won't feel physically unwell because of Unbound/Boundless, but until that time, here's the Publishers Weekly piece on it which is causing Some Chat in the authors group. The authors group filled with brilliant books, ideas, and writers. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Yay, lovely to see this covered in The Bookseller. We re-publish this brilliant anthology tomorrow!

A golden retriever lies on the floor like a melancholy dishcloth. Her comfortable bed lies slightly away from her but no! She spurns comforts! Only hard floor.

I am also delighted to say I've just signed with Robinson to publish No One Talks About This Stuff. Robinson publishes It's Not a Bloody Trend and are a dream to work with. I am so excited for NOTATS to have a proper life given all the Unbound horrors. As you can see, Sybil is very supportive 🙄

It means a lot that Reading Well has books on dealing with loss. It's something that many parents experience. It's also why No One Talks About This Stuff is deliberately intersectional: grief and loss don't exist in a vacuum. They are informed by who you are. It's a support group in a book.

Some lovely news. Accessibility means a lot to me with my books so I'm really thrilled that my anthology No One Talks About This Stuff has been chosen for @readingagency’s new #ReadingWell for Families booklist! Now available to borrow for free from libraries. readingagency.org.uk/get-reading/...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree, worth skipping to Ed and James's postmortem in the last five minutes. Very funny.
