🌈 Thank you to @thediversebookawards for longlisting 'The Fights That Make Us'. It's such a joy to see my story about campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in the 80s and today touching people's hearts and reaching new audiences.

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride:.

Sometimes you discover a book so wonderful that you want to get everyone you know to read it. The Line They Drew Through Us is one of those books. @HibaNoorKhan1 has taken the pain of Partition & created a story full of warmth, honesty and love. It couldn't be more relevant.

I couldn't be happier than to be shortlisted for this. Telling and celebrating and learning from LGBTQ+ history is such a crucial tool to responding to what's happening in the world right now 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️.
Very fine shortlist for the Young Quills Award 2025 ⭐️. @histassoc competition for published historical fiction for children and young adults (14+). (Congrats @jprosewriter & @SarahHaggerHolt !) .
