Teachers, I am once again begging you to stop giving your pupils assignment where they have to write to and get a response from an author. Do not make us part of a child’s homework grade! We are inevitably only going to find time to reply six weeks after the assignment is due, if at all.

Let the games begin! Please find attached a clue to the title of Ministry of Unladylike Activity 3, out from @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social in September. It’s hidden in the first paragraph of the book … can you unscramble it in time for the big reveal on Wednesday?

One week to go until #WBD2025 and if YOU, like me, are a parent panicking about your child’s costume, may I suggest one of my characters? They just wear normal school uniforms with a hat and a magnifying glass, and I have a full guide in this post from 2020: robin-stevens.co.uk/dress-like-t...

Proud to be supporting READ IT FORWARD. 10% of all children's book sales go to @booktrust.org.uk & @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social on @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social in February. I've got a BIG list of book recommendations for inspiration right here: uk.bookshop.org/shop/rashmis... #KidLitUK

One thing I really believe strongly is that we should NOT listen to creators too carefully when they tell us what they think their works are about. My evidence for this is the fact that I realised TODAY that all three of the main characters in MUA have arcs about losing their fathers in some manner.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

I am very, very careful about getting details right in my books until it comes to military ranks or British peerages. Captain? Major? Commander? Lord? Baronet? Whatever, I don’t care, knowing this feels like narc behaviour.
