Today I’m sharing some of the tools I use to write (apart from, you know, a laptop and Microsoft Word). I used to think that I didn’t need any extra things to write, and that just over-complicates things – but these really streamline the process and keep things organised. Some of these were recommended by AvaContinue reading “My Top 5 Writing Tools”

Creator versus Fandom – Authors on Social Media
At YALC this weekend, I gave a seminar on Social media with the wonderful Alice Oseman. This blog post is adapted from that seminar, for anyone who missed the workshop. Alice and I have both been using social media since we were kids. However, since we’ve become authors, we’ve noticed a difference between our placeContinue reading “Creator versus Fandom – Authors on Social Media”
June Favourites
It’s time for another one of these! They’re still my favourite blog posts to write, so enjoy. I spent most of June backpacking around Cambodia and a bit of Thailand. It was tiring but brilliant and I’m so glad I went. I think next time that I’ll choose a nice hotel over hostels though, atContinue reading “June Favourites”

Plotting with playlists
Before I start writing any book, I have to have a playlist ready. It’s simply impossible to start writing without it. It evolves as the book goes on – in fact, sometimes I’ve fixed a plothole in the book by moving around a few songs, or deleting one completely. Songs represent moods and character developments,Continue reading “Plotting with playlists”
