I cannot condone the hatred and misinformation being spread on here so I am stepping away. Do come and say hello on Insta and FB instead.

I am very happy to share with you my shiny new Kate Wells Crime website. Thank you @CalderPublicity for the wonderful chat last week that triggered this, and to @charduck for the fabulous online course that helped me Lego it all together. Welcome to... katewellscrime.co.uk


Brilliant to see 'A Proper Mother' by @isobelshirlaw featured in this month's Caversham Bridge paper. It's a wonderfully rich and clever story that made me wonder what I actually knew right until the last paragraph. I don't often use the cliche but this one really is #gripping

One lucky lady!! I can't wait to read this. Look out soon for the second book by fabulous @AlexHayBooks and if you haven't already read his debut #TheHousekeepers then it's time to rectify that terrible mistake!

Breaking up the endless posting of my own book with instead posting about someone else’s - my #bookpost today was THE QUEEN OF FIVES by the wonderful @AlexHayBooks - I absolutely loved The Housekeepers so very excited for this #booktwitter

Happy happy book birthday! 🥳🥳 If MG Greek and Roman mythical adventures are your thing then do check @riewriting 's books out.

Happy book birthday to me. This girl standing in the ancient city of Ephesus could never have imagined writing a series crammed full of Greek and Roman myth. But somehow I did. Keep dreaming big! #AuntieMedusaAndMe #classicstwitter 1/2

Fan-blooming-tastic!!! I've already read (both consumed and been consumed by) this incredible book - the audio is our holiday car soundtrack so I can hear it in all its glory and show my husband why I keep raving about it!

Oh hurray, what a joy! I think it’s OK to love the audio version of your own book isn’t it?! 😬 Joanne Frogatt, Gemma Whelan, @The_AsifKhan Mark Noble and Simon Harvey do such an incredible job of bringing the story to life #booktwitter #audiobook



Well this is bound to be excellent!!!! Wish I could jump on the Red Funnel and get myself over to the island.

So excited to see @BrittonBookGeek will be speaking at the @IsleOfWightFest this year. Her books are fab and she is such an interesting, honest and inspiring person, make sure you grab a ticket xx

I wrote 'another banger'. Apparently. Thank you so much, @ImogenRW - your @GuardianBooks roundup review has really made my day.

Libraries really matter - to readers and to writers & as a hub of the community. Somewhere for people to go, young parents, the elderly, lonely folk, anyone who uses libraries not just as a great place to discover and borrow books but also as a social necessity. @BoldwoodBooks

Absolutely agree with every single point in this blog. Well worth reading if you were either at Harrogate this year, or perhaps you weren't and tried avoiding all the SM posts. Also, do look at @charduck 's other blog posts. So much honesty and sense!

🚨Been oversharing again! 🙈 Some honest thoughts about Harrogate: charlotteduckworthstudio.com/being-publishe… #TheakstonsCrime #writingcommunity

Amazing opportunity for an author visit from a superstar of picture books - especially if you are from around the Black Country.

Just finished my final author school visit for the year. I’m now taking bookings for autumn and beyond. (And if you’re based in The Black Country, I have fully funded visits available for nurseries and Reception classes). Please get in touch!

Gasp! 😱 Absolutely speechless! This review for #TheExaminer is 🥹 I lived and breathed this book to make it all the things I wanted it to be - it’s so close to my heart ❤️ Thank you so much, @KirkusReviews 🎓🦂

I love this thread from top-notch writer of picture books @Fi_BGB It's so true! If you want to see your work published then the biggest thing to tell yourself is to just keep going. Also - please look at Fi's book, absolute gorgeousness and more on the way!!

For those setting out on their writing journey… a 🧵 When I first started writing #picturebooks I spoke to as many people already ‘in the business’ as I could and two conversations stick in my mind…
