ALT A dark background with colourful cartoon illustrations: rainbows, dinosaurs, pirate ships, ghosts, hot air balloons. Text reads: to write a great story, you need characters that stand out! When people read your story, they should feel as if they really know and understand the characters. Even if it's a villain who they super definitely don't want to know or even meet in real life!

I've finally had a minute to reflect on all things from our inaugural @SailFestUK event and I still can't quite believe we managed to pull it off. There was so much energy and excitement in the room.

The pre-lunch panel. MG authors talk about their storytelling and authenticity including #LittleRebelsAward royalty, @a_reflective & @Zendibble
Zanib advises new authors: don’t avoid writing about your culture; people *do* want to read about it.

If you’re on insta take some time watching this incredible soul, @Zendibble, unpacking her latest book, talking about the riots, how they threatened to drown her spirits and how she came back to us.
How lucky we are.
And: Meet the Maliks Book 3!! (29/8)

Fancy finding @Zendibble books in Antalya.
So hot out here.
We decided to sit in the shade after a day of #LandofLegends in 38 -41 degrees heat- and found a book shop with limited English language books- this was one!
Feel really proud.
