New Releases
Rebecca Colby is celebrating the release of her newest early reader, Woolly Bully, illustrated by Tamás Mayer and published by Maverick. Woolly is a bully. He is big, bad, hairy and scary! But when another bully turns up, what will Woolly do?

Sarah Morrell was excited earlier this year as her debut middle-grade book, A Head Full of Magic, was released with Hashtag Press after capturing their imaginations with her pitch during their 2020 pitching event. (Sarah was a little shy, so we're shouting extra loud for her now!)

Awards
SCBWI member Barbara Henderson was stunned to win two Young Quills Awards at the ceremony in London, organised by the Historical Association. Barbara won her category in 2021 with The Siege of Caerlaverock, and repeated her success in 2022 with The Chessmen Thief. Her study now looks a whole lot classier!

No comments:
We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
