Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Hi. If you dm me an address, I will send you a signed plate, as you had a ticket to the event.
For anyone else who somehow might read this and might be looking for the bookplates at Mr B's: all them have been put into books already, no chance to get one if you already have a book 🥲
If you too have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness, and been made to apologise for it?

Fuck 'em.

Unapologetic Love Story is out on World Autism Day and the hardback is currently in the Waterstones Preorder Sale.

I highly recommend.

I so wanted to be there. I'm very devastated.

Thank you for understanding.
Hi. I'm really sorry and have addressed this on IG. It was not my decision and the publishers' position will be made clear at a later date.

I've sent Mr B's some signed bookplates and I hate that we've been put in this position.
Absolutely sobbing 😭 @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social

LOVE this book so far! Right from the start we got good vibes, the main character is from Linlithgow 🙌
Too impatient to wait for our copy to arrive I borrowed this from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social and intend to read a bit from chapter 9 to #wordsforwellbeing book group today. Hot chocolate and #storydeck cards also on the agenda! #readingschool

Had a "holy shit" moment at Waterstones Cheltenham earlier. Saw they had a Modern Classics table. It had A Kind of Spark by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social on it.

A book by a neurodivergent about neurodivergency. Described as a modern classic.

That is officially Awesome.

“They drafted up a list of the most uncomfortable things for a #neurodivergent student and then called them the official school values.”

So excited to read #RoleModel by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social

Happy publication day! ✨
Happy publication day to @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social‬ and her brand-new middle grade novel #RoleModel, a fierce, timely and heartfelt new novel perfect for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, and anyone who’s still finding their voice🧡
