Aww this has made my day! @MaisieWrites has been a phenomenal mentor to me. She's been kind enough to work with me on two manuscripts and she's been so generous, open and honest with her advice. I've had so much fun and learnt heaps. Am very grateful! Thank you so much!
Last month I finished working with my mentee @taslinp Taslin Pollock she's been making waves in the children's lit world with @AllStoriesWrite @scottishbktrust and she is signed with @AbiRFellows - Taslin is FULL of amazing stories with heart and fun! Give her a follow!

I meet many wonderful school librarians in my work, and I cannot stress enough how vital they are to the young people they work with. Not only as custodians to the world of books, but as mentors, safeguarders, empathy ambassadors, creators of fun and joy, and guiding lights.
