Maisie Chan - Chi Chi the Panda Author@MaisieWrites7 Nov 2025
THE BEST CHILDREN'S FICTION WRITTEN BY MAISIE CHAN IN 2025! I didn't make the Waterstones Best Children's Fiction of 2025 but I am proud of my book! It's my only book out this year. I spent nearly two years writing it.

Throwback to August - wonderful, in depth conversation with @edincarib @_shaniakilah Andrea Levy's influence on our work. ☺️ @EdinburghUni has an Andrea Levy Scholarship for Black African and Caribbean heritage people facing socioeconomic barriers: registryservices.ed.ac.uk/st…
Shani Akilah@_shaniakilah22 Aug 2025
Last week I had the privilege of speaking at @edbookfest on a panel celebrating Andrea Levy ✨ It was such a joy to share the stage with @JedaPearl and Lisa Williams - reflecting on Levy’s legacy, her influence, and the ongoing impact of the Andrea Levy Scholarship 📚

Publication day! Time to send these beautiful beasties out into the world! Celtic Folk And Fairy Tales is now available wherever you like to get your selkie, dragon, shapeshifter, monster & changeling tales. Amazing artwork is by Elise Carmichael #kidlit #celtictales #folklore
A display of hardback books, four laid flat on a wooden table like tiles, and a pile of five placed on top, in a slightly teetering step fashion. The title of the book, in shiny green foil in the centre of the cover, is Celtic Folk and Fairy Tales, and two names at the bottom left are: Lari Don and Elise Carmichael. The cover art is a black horse with wild mane and sharp teeth leaping across the top, a seal wearing a pointy gold crown swimming at the bottom, and a wave of blue and white curving up the left side of the cover, linking them. There is a subtitle in smaller font reading: Magical Stories from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Brittany

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

This event is for Black & PoC writers who are based in, from, or connected to Scotland - for example, grew up here, or used to live, work or study here. We know we can't catch everyone, so there will be a recording for ticket holders and other ways you can contribute.

Changing copyright law in favour of billionaire-owned tech companies is exploitation of writers & artists. It's hard enough to make a living as it is! Thanks everyone ❤️
