Not much compares to the joy of sending out book orders for young readers for Christmas. 💜

Note to self: Christmas is starting earlier every year. Be prepared. Buy colourful wrapping paper in November. 🎁

If so, that’s awesome!

But maybe you’re feeling less than ready to face 2026, or budget concerns have you waiting to assess your options. If so, you'll want to get the most for your money on digital books, and now’s the perfect time to add to your middle grade collection...

Librarians and educators, with Christmas zooming toward us – sorry, too soon to mention Christmas? – perhaps you’re already prepping for 2026.

Maybe you're getting library & classroom reads lined up and you’re feeling great about the digital reading options available to patrons and students...

That feeling of triumph, then frustration, then hope, then fear, and finally satisfaction - or is it weariness? - that you made it to The End. Again.

And now we wait. Will it be rinse and repeat?

Book 2 in The Sketcher Series. Hopefully, coming soon.

What a feeling, you know the one. When you write a book, edit a book, get editorial feedback on your book, rewrite the middle of your book...and send it out for more feedback.

With Halloween creeping up on us, who doesn't like some spooky stuff in their reading?

What would you do if you could stop time?

It's always exciting to see pics of your book in the wild, especially on the other side of the world! STU AND THE SKETCHY TIME STOPS has found his way to Marlow Library in the UK! TY @ianbrownlie.bsky.social for sharing this pic!

I had so much FUN at the first Books & Beyond event with #middlegrade author friend Fiona Lloyd (if there was a prize for the most chatty stall, we would have won it). 😜

Congrats to author friends @selinafenech.bsky.social and Vivienne Fraser for putting on this event.
