An Awfully Big Blog Adventure: Not an Issue? - Joan Lennon
http://awfullybigblogadventure.blogspot.com/2015/05/not-issue-joan-lennon.html
Wednesday, 20 May 2015. My first YA novel is teetering on the brink of becoming A REAL BOOK, but for me, as for all writers (I'm guessing), the story and everyone in it have been real from the very beginning. Silver Skin is a scifi/historical fiction inspired by the Stone Age village of Skara Brae on Orkney. There are 3 main characters: Rab, from the far future, and Cait and Voy from the Stone Age. Why am I telling you this? Rab is black. (He's also male, which I'm not, but that's another hornets' ne...

An Awfully Big Blog Adventure: Big Words or Little Words? Vocabulary in Children's Books by Emma Barnes
http://awfullybigblogadventure.blogspot.com/2015/05/big-words-or-little-words-vocabulary-in.html
Sunday, 17 May 2015. Big Words or Little Words? Vocabulary in Children's Books by Emma Barnes. I was at the Headingley LitFest. During a question-time on children's books. A children's writer in the audience asked the Sunday Times book critic Nicolette Jones whether it was OK to have long words in a children's book – or should he keep it simple? But shortly afterwards I came across two different perspectives on the subject, from two of my favourite children's writers. Green Eggs and Ham. Mog in the Dark ...

A blog by Keren David, YA author. When I was Joe. Tossers and trainers - a glossary for non-Brits. Lias Guide to Winning the Lottery. Sunday, 4 October 2009. Three shootings, three lucky escapes. I have nearly been shot three times. Is that unusual? I’m not a gangster, nor a soldier - not even a foreign correspondent.

An Awfully Big Blog Adventure
Friday, 16 March 2018. A Little Light Relief by Claire Fayers. We’re halfway through World Book Month. Halfway through school visits, through travel, admin, preparation and loads of exhausting fun with kids. It’s time we gave ourselves a break and as I’m a keen game player, I thought I’d suggest a few games that should appeal to authors. Once Upon a Time. The players all receive one story ending card and a hand of cards depicting common fairytale elements. If the thought of racing multiple storytellers t...
