Good luck to everyone doing #scotwriterpitch2025 tomorrow! Might be worth checking your chat settings, I think default for new messages is 'users I follow', change that to 'Everyone' so publishers/agents can get straight through to you.

Congratulations to poet John Dougherty and inkster Tom Morgan-Jones (wearing his best sombrero) on a brilliant anthology. ZOOMING THE ZOO, already a huge favourite with young readers, has been long listed for the KPMG Children's Books Ireland Award 2025.
