Over the spring break I've been looking back on my two years studying the MA in Writing for Young People BSU Creative Writing. I've learned so much from my tutors, fellow writers and feel privileged to be taking my first steps in the world of children's writing. #MAWFYP

Great to be part of the backstage crew at the Wild Words launch last night. The room was abuzz with agents, publishers, alumni authors, tutors and of course the talented 2023 cohort themselves! Inspired for next year ✍️ #MAWFYP #childrenswriting

Spending #EarthDay reflecting on the wonderful time I had yesterday with the Bath Spa University 'Wild Muse' team, exploring ways to respond to nature creatively, inspired by Kate Petty and her fab undergrads, along with the ace Alex Cotter and the joy that is the BSU #MAWFYP cohort

Absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted Searchlight Writing for Children Awards with fellow @mawfyp grads Fran Benson and amazing winner Julie-Anne Graham. Congratulations to everyone on the list.

Do you work in children’s publishing? I've got two polls relating to an article I'm writing for the MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa - First up, which genre in YA do you think includes the most graphic violence?✍️

This week was the best week. Graduation. Anthology launch. Time with fellow graduating students, tutors, writers, family, friends, agents & publishers. Feeling the love and raring to finish my manuscript and send it out #amwriting #amediting BSU Creative Writing #mawfyp

Same time last week, I was furiously finishing an ARC of this DELIGHTFUL emma lord read so I could use it in my #MAWFYP project on YA set in college. What a treat to have a real, signed copy for my shelf. Can’t wait to go back and savor the bagel-based slow burn all over.

Just grabbed my copy of fellow #MAWFYP ’er Tia Fisher lnk.to/crossingthelinebook’s debut novel and can’t wait to dive in. Huge congrats, Tia!
