A little piece of news ✨ (a bit late!)
I’m happy to share that my agent @jemiscoe.bsky.social has officially launched her own agency @starlingliterary.bsky.social.
I’m so grateful to continue working together in this new chapter! To celebrate this new start for us, I made a mock-up book cover📗
DAWN OF THE FIREBIRD is an instant Sunday Times Bestseller!! Huge congratulations to Sarah Mughal Rana! 🎉

The world is full of uncertainty right now, and many of us look to books as a way to escape--hence the current popularity of romantasy, romance, etc. But I agree that kids need to see themselves reflected on the page. I love those stories, and I welcome them. Please send them to me. #querytip
Are we in a word of escapism now for kids and publishing? I mean, how do you handle realism and resilience in kid lit today? Should we not write about homeless, hungry kids? Or how do you do that for kids? Or not at all?
