It was fun to enter Fall Writing Frenzy. I love how these sorts of challenges force you to concoct something that you wouldn’t have written otherwise.

For a bit of fun, I entered the Chuckle Challenge 2026. I had to write a story for kids (max 200 words) based on two random prompts. Mine were:

• A talking toilet, and

• A mystery flavor

The result? I’m a Chuckle Challenge Champion! 🤣😎
The winning masterpiece is here.
(apologies in advance…) 😂 🚽

It was such an honour to be picked as the winner of the WriteMentor Picture Book Award. But rather than say more about it here, I thought I’d link to the interview in the WriteMentor Newsletter where I explain all about how much this means to me!.

I am over the moon to be featured in The Bookseller as winner of the WriteMentor alongside the brilliant Ellie Pulze and Holly Pickering!
