An hour on hold Made In Design and then my call gets cut off. The worst customer services I’ve ever received and, by way of my call not being taken, not received. Where are you all? Counting your money? Lying on a beach? ‘Cause you sure don’t seem to be anywhere near a phone.

Wondering what fun stuff to do at the end of term? Look no further….

I feel it’s important to admit your shortcomings especially if in doing so you can help others. Struggling with spelling can make creative writing feel like an impossibility, but I hope to convince you that this is not the case.

Thanks so much Amol Rajan I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed my dear Pig. 🐖 💨 ✔️

Hey SF Said look what I just got from our local library for our new bedtime story Haringey Libraries

It’s taken me 40 years to realise that there’s a reason I can’t spell, can’t tell left from right, often mispronounce or misread works and get confused when telling the time. I’m dyslexic, but that hasn’t stopped me writing books. Let me tell you all about my journey.

Book Two now also in super-duper colour for a whole new set of readers!

Bet Santa would love to listen in to this lovely bunch of events.

Look who’s back out on the road today. I’ve been very quiet as I’ve been developing a new series, but yesterday it went out into the publishing world and now it’s time to go and talk Pig and my dyslexia. Always such fun. ⁦Scholastic UK⁩ ⁦🌶️ Pickled Pepper Books 🌶️⁩ ⁦

Here is what thinking looks like for me. I am a visual thinker, I need to draw pictures to help me imagine. Oh, and I also need tea and a slice of chocolate brownie, but we don’t need to talk about that.

Anyone else look at this photo and wonder just who has that many pairs of heels these days?

A new and exciting addition to my website. The MUSIC button. Yes, I play the banjo and bass guitar and in my spare time I like to make my own tunes. Now you can hear what I’ve been up to. Lucky, lucky you!!!! emerstamp.com/musical-me

Today I was invited to Highgate School to talk about my dyslexia. It was lovely to open neurotypical children’s eyes to what my world is like and to also inspire those with dyslexia to feel positive about themselves. If you’d like me to come to your school DM me. 🤗

What a stinky treat to come back to after the summer holidays. I’d like to say I can’t wait to get stuck right in, but I’m not sure with a title like this that’s appropriate. Love it! Jim Smith Scholastic UK
