Hi, folks! Today, I wanted to take a little time to let you know what I got up to on my birthday. I turned 29 on June 11th 2018, but most of what you’re about to read about took place on the 10th, because that was a Sunday. I made the...
As some of you already know, I’ve been a vegetarian since I was sixteen (or for nearly thirteen years). And because they say you should write about what you know, I decided to write a novel about factory farming. I’d already read a...
Hi, folks! So today, I wanted to talk a little bit about a new series of books I’m thinking about working on. Let me explain. This idea is inspired by collections like the Penguin Mini Modern Classics books that I’ve been working my...
I think of myself as a writer, which means that I don’t tend to worry too much about the format that I’m using. I write poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, and I also dabble with music and lyrics. But recently, I’ve been...

Hi, folks! Today, I thought I’d take some time to share a few quick updates about where I am with stuff and what I’m currently working on. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these and I actually find these crazy...
On the run up to this year’s London Book Fair, I realised that a lot of people have been asking me whether I think it’s worth going to it. After all, tickets are around £50 and then you have to factor in travel costs and potential...
Today, I wanted to take a few moments to talk about something that I’ve seen a lot of people talking about online over the last couple of weeks. It seems to be one of the big topics in the BookTube community at the moment, but it’s...
Hi, folks! Dane here and today I have some exciting news. I’m going to London Book Fair! I went along last year to get a feel for what’s new in the industry and to meet up with a client of mine, and it was so much fun that I knew...
