As my 8th book makes its way out into the world today I would like to thank my talented illustrator Mark Hill, my brilliant editors @neeshed & @tiemystring and all the team at @Gill_Books for turning my humble words into a thing of beauty.

Real-World Writers is prob the book that made the biggest difference to how I teach writing. It explains the importance of writer-teachers in the classroom. We model sport when we teach sport, we model art, music - why not writing? I always write with the children now. ALWAYS.

Teachers who use Real-World Writers recognise that writing in school must feel real, relevant and meaningful to them if they are to achieve their potential. Children don’t have to wait to appreciate the pleasure & satisfaction of being a writer. They can feel it now.

Wouldn't it be great if every child was given a book instead of or with an Easter egg? A paperback costs under e10 and could change a child's life. Please give a book this Easter. Sticker books, comic books, funny books, picturebooks... there's a book out there for every child.

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of Twitter help here. I have a young budding historian here that needs to publicise a Local Heritage Project on the Cork @Ford Plant. Neither time nor Covid have been on his side in terms of publicity. Would really appreciate re-tweets and comments.

For schools that have Hepa filters, I’m seeking any advice on makes, price, usability. Are they noisy? Also wondering could department eventually fund their purchase?? Would appreciate RT #edchatie @simonmlewis @VickyBarronprin @CatrionaGolden @m2thefizzle @caitriona_hand
