Happy Independent Bookshop Week! A joy to visit the wonderful treasure trove of books @heronbooksbristol thankyou for the warm welcome for #TerraElectrica and a haul of #summerreading #indiebookshopweek #summertime #visitbristol @neemtreepress

Just grabbing a train for this exciting event. My talk isn’t until tomorrow so it’s a stopover in London for me! 📚🥰

Day 2 at the #LFOW2025 Ever wondered why the green room looks like? 🤣 it’s a sugar fest!

Five days. Five posts. Day 1/5. Unexpected delights! A friend made me a bookrest to display #TerraElectrica on - a wonderful thing - and a reminder that, however tempting it is to hide away, writing a book is something to be proud of. @neemtreepress #writing #kidlit #mg #brave

Five days. Five posts. Day 2/5. Climate fiction. A joy to receive my Climate-Conscious Writers Handbook - look out for my article for Climate Fiction Writers League this August reflecting on my experiences taking #TerraElectrica into schools. 🌎🌏🌍@neemtreepress #clifi @lauren_e_james

We’re thrilled to be working with @StrangelyMagic again on a brand new book — 🦜 Kittiwake Stormhaven and the Pirate’s Portolano 🌊 An action-packed sea adventure full of pirates, peril & sisterly secrets! Details 👉 tinytreebooks.com/2025/07/08/kit… Watch this space for more 👀 #KidLit

A deliciously atmospheric and theatrical slice of Victorian mystery set where everything is not as it appears to be. Rather enjoyed finding this review for Scareground!

Great start to the day with a river adventure!!

I am SO excited to chat with Emma tomorrow. (I had a sudden panic at 9pm that today was Tuesday but rest assured It is Not)

Delighted my dark summer tale The Summer Visitor is featured in today’s Irish Examiner as part of its summer-themed writing series. Thank you desod Irish Examiner Arts & Culture irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arts…

9, Can you share anything about what you’re working on next? Emily Randall-Jones 👻 #ukteenchat

Emma Finlayson-Palmer 🏳️‍🌈 She/Her Soak up as much of your world (or elements of) as you can. I spent months surrounded by everything train- books, museums, music, articles - the more you can experience for real, the more the world sinks into your skin like osmosis. It becomes as natural as breathing! #ukteenchat

Imagine Dragons in London tonight. My YA playlist and they were amazing! #imaginedragons
