I love Confessions of a Debut Novelist so much and it was such a joy speaking to Chloe!

Today I'm talking to @celiasilvani.bsky.social about her gripping bookclub novel Baby Teeth, how her research helped her delve into the world of internet forums and cults and why you should never send out the first draft of your manuscript to agents @orionbooks.bsky.social

One of my favourite things about freelance commissions is speaking to world-class academics. It blows my mind I can speak to the actual experts! On topics I find so interesting! (This message is inspired by a conversation with an expert on the history/ sociology of baby names)

Recording for one of my absolute favourite writing podcasts this afternoon. One that has helped me so much. So excited!

Author shares favourite independent book shops for World Book Day Celia Silvani, author of Baby Teeth, shares her favourite South London book shops for World Book Day.

It's World Book Day! To celebrate (as well as cobbling together a very bad Paddington outfit for my toddler), I spoke to the booksellers behind some of my favourite independent shops in South London.

What a great read - dark, unsettling and compelling but check out the trigger warnings in my review!

Mike White told 'White Lotus' season 3 star to watch Bravo's 'Southern Charm' for inspiration 'The White Lotus' creator Mike White told season 3 star Sam Nivola to watch Bravo's 'Southern Charm' for inspiration, and Jason Isaacs modeled his accent and character off that show.

This is a *direct* crossover of two things I'm very, very interested in ew.com/mike-white-t...

I became absorbed in strangers’ fertility journeys online What started as curiosity would turn into an emotional investment for Celia Silvani – and eventually, a lifeline

My Observer Magazine article is also online. It looks at how social media reshaped my understanding of antenatal care, birth choices like freebirthing, pregnancy loss, loneliness and connection - and how this influenced my debut novel, Baby Teeth. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

From ‘liking’ viral TikTok pregnancy announcements to engaging in the quiet spaces of miscarriage forums after experiencing recurrent loss, my relationship with strangers’ pregnancies has changed significantly over the last five years.

In today’s Observer Magazine.

So thrilled to see Baby Teeth in The Sun today - “A brilliantly original tale…” @orionbooks.bsky.social

Baby Teeth is in the entrance of Waterstones Piccadilly, the biggest bookshop in Europe!

Today’s the day! Launch day! Baby Teeth is out in the world @orionbooks.bsky.social

“I spent months undercover in freebirthing communities – this is what I learned” It’s a dangerous path to tread, but plenty of women are choosing it.

For Stylist Magazine, I wrote about my experience researching and learning about freebirthing - and how it shaped my book (Baby Teeth, out tomorrow with @orionbooks.bsky.social).

You can read the full article here: www.stylist.co.uk/fitness-heal...

Beyond excited to see Baby Teeth in Heat magazine! “A truly thought-provoking read about pregnancy and the dark side of online communities, this emotional rollercoaster will leave you gripped until the very end.” Just two days until hardback publication now ❤️

When content creates community – for Sunday Times Style, I spoke with fertility influencers, viewers and academics about the support, the solidarity and the criticism that comes with sharing trying to conceive (TTC) journeys online. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

Ahh so considerate and festive!

I was already feeling nervy about my driving theory test so I was thrilled to get an email from DVLA just now saying "54 out of every 100 theory tests were failed between July and September 2024"

Cracking surprise book mail of a brilliant finished copy of Baby Teeth by @celiasilvani.bsky.social coming from @orionbooks.bsky.social on 6th Feb.

I've found out what happens when your dreams come true! I got a toastie maker for Christmas and it means I can have toasties every day, including toasted ham and cheese croissants for today's lunch, and it's just incredible???
