I've been asked to do an interview on BBC Radio Devon.
I'd started to think I had done something to offend them as I haven't been asked on since Fitz was on air. 😂
Must try to be my best self.
It's July 3rd at something ludicrous like 6am. Does anyone listen then? 😁

Great Hangman, I think the highest cliff on the North Devon coast. It's not really very cliffy in that it seems to slope at a forty-five degree angle to the sea. Maybe it's steeper on the other side but I didn't get that far The sky was blue but my photography skills are rubbish and it looks a bit dark and moody.
Great Hangman #NorthDevon looking broody in this picture even though the weather was lovely.
I also published a book set on the #SouthWestCoastPath called "On The Edge". It's not quite as famous the #SaltPath though. 😁

Really good thread for anyone querying, especially #UKPublishing

The toolkit mentions author portals - do any publishers in the UK have sales/royalty portals any more? #Kidlituk #UKpublishing #authors
Rejected cover for a book. It features a colourised photograph of Brixham harbour bristling with masts of fishing smacks. A lone person stands on the dock. The title is rendered in the rich red of the sails (although the sails are not hoisted in this particular image)
This is the cover idea we rejected for "A Spring Marrying" by Jon Rosebank.
This was the stage in the WIP that we gave up and decided to try a different tack.
I like it, but I think you will agree when you see the actual cover that it is better than this.

I have a manuscript by a well-known #KidLit author.
It's been submitted to me because,
A. He knows me
B. He knows I won't mess with it much
He's potentially willing to lose out on sales rather than go through his agent to a big publisher and have the book eviscerated.

Do I Still Count as Working Class?
I grew up on council pop and fish fingers.
What happens when identity becomes the gatekeeper?

For lots of places in the UK, WH Smith is the only local bookshop. This is pretty bleak. I've got to the point where I'd rather Waterstones buys it and becomes almost total book chain monopoly vs venture capital that might chop it up and use it for parts. #UKpublishing #Booksky #UKKidlit #KidlitUK

When I was scoping out illustrators to pass on to art directors I'd always look for a range in the portfolio - not necessarily of styles, but of subjects. You know, can they do animals/children/cars/backgrounds etc. #KidlitUK #ukpublishing
