If you’re writing for children or young adults and you’re ready to share your work with agents, keep me in mind. I’m very much on the lookout for a new talent to work with. Submissions guidelines are on the AMH website.

I’ve had lots of new followers lately (thank you!) after tweeting about mature writers. (How I had a breakout book at 58!)
So here’s a link to my top tips for getting published.
Be warned, it’s honest. About the ups & DOWNS.
Good luck, all!! #amwriting

COVER REVEAL TIME!
I'm delighted to exclusively reveal the cover of my YA dystopian sci-fi debut…
🔥THE NAMELESS 🔥
This incredible cover is designed by @brightontommy.
Publishing on the 30th August, 2023.
Let's find out more...
ALT Book cover with futuristic dystopian city in lower half, with flames emerging from the right hand side. The phoenix emblem in the centre has a tail of DNA and has one wing on fire, it slowly spreading across the phoenix. The tagline states - How far would you go to find out your name. The title is THE NAMELESS, emboldened and capitalised with a metallic font. Written by Stuart White.

Novel-in-Development Award UPDATE
The adults are all done with their reading and feedback for the first round, but we're just waiting on our kid reader's finishing up (we never like to be too strict with them) and then we'll get a longlist together and published.
Newsletter is best place to monitor for further news, though we'll also post here, too.
Congratulations Stuart! Well deserved. 👏🎉
I am delighted to have won an award for Ghosts of Mars! I've never won anything in writing awards before, so I'm absolutely chuffed.
Huge thanks to Bob and the team that read and selected the winners. And a massive acknowledgement to @Jen_Jamieson_ for the stunning cover art, which as we all knows, contributes massively to our opinions on books (despite what the old adage says about not judging by the cover!).
Also congratulations to the other winners and highly commended books! 🎉
