FAKE DATES & MOONCAKES was inspired by making snow-skin mooncakes with my dearest aunt. My @macmillankidsuk team asked if I could share the recipe—it’s not a family secret, and my aunt, who’s now 86, was delighted to oblige! So happy to share something close to my heart 🥮🥹

Love @CL4REMONTS ’s live (and artfully spoiler-free) tweets as she read FAKE DATES AND MOONCAKES! The way Asian readers have connected with the cultural rep is so heartening to me 🥹 This book is a celebration of our beloved festivals, traditions, and most of all, FOOD 🥟🍜🥡🥮

@amandarhill32 I find doing story-adjacent things that aren’t actually writing/revising on page really help. Like making graphics, aesthetics, inspiration boards, or even fan-casting the characters. It puts some fun back in the project when the words aren’t flowing.

For all the writers who, like me, are super hard on ourselves when we’re not #amwriting , #amediting , or #amrevising . Sometimes doing nothing is doing something—letting that next brilliant story idea slowly find its way to the surface. #WritingCommunity #writerslife @dinoman_j
