New Writing Project

It's the second time I've applied for the National Lottery Grant through the Arts Council to write my next book, entitled Who Cares? which will feature a young carer as the protagonist.

My funding was rejected last time, but I've decided that the project is so worthwhile that even if I'm rejected a second time I'm going ahead with the book.

I'll be writing in collaboration with young carer organisations, family, friends, professionals but most importantly the young carers themselves.

I had my first visit to Young Carers Crew last week, talking to the children and young people about my books and the Who Cares? project to see if they'd like to get involved. 
It was amazing to be out and about doing real author things again and one of the children gave me a portrait she'd drawn of me whilst I was talking. Quite an accurate job, I'm sure you'd agree. They were so great and I'm looking forward to working with them. 

Next is a new connection in Norfolk, which is my home county (I grew up in Norwich). I've made links with Norfolk Young Carers who are kindly reaching out to see who else might be interested in getting involved. It's very exciting to be thinking about what is next and how my lovely book, Call Me Lion will be followed-up.


Watch out for future blog posts about how Who Cares? progresses over the coming months. I intend to keep you all posted here!
