Alas I did not win a Lollies award, but it was still amazing to be shortlisted and what a brilliant day out, thanks @lolbookawards - congratulations to all the winners and their fabulously funny books👏

As promised, I’m doing a giveaway to celebrate and as it’s party season, 2 lucky ducks will each get a signed copy of ‘Maddy Yip’s Guide to Parties.’

All you need to do is like and comment and I’ll pick a winner at random by midnight Mon 9th Dec. Good luck! (UK only)

Colour, colour everywhere and I’m happy to say you can eat most of it.

No one ever talks about Malaga old town as a go-to for a city break, but the food, culture and history scene is phenomenal. December is sunny jumper and jeans weather. Prices a third cheaper than UK 👌

Little did I know that all those things I laughed my socks off at as a kid, would lead me here 😁

Thanks @chloesackur for spotting #Chinglish @black

Thanks @chloesackur for spotting #Chinglish @blackwelloxford with this super recommendation:

“BEST OF BRITISH
A down-to-earth, funny and sometimes dark story told in diary form, chronicling the life of Jo as she moves from Hull to Coventry, inspired by the author’s own experiences. Perfect for 12+, it’s a wonderful story of identity, family and finding your feet.”

It’s a hilarious read, but humour was one of the ways I tried to cope back in the 80s, when there weren’t any other options. In the back of this book, you’ll find a list of charities and organisations for help relating to some of the topics covered.

🙏my agent, editor, art director, team @andersenpress for creating this debut that’s still going strong after 4 years!

I’m really proud of all the books I’ve had pub

I’m really proud of all the books I’ve had published😊 I’ve put them together like this cos the kids at my events always ask how many I’ve done and I’m like, “Erm…can’t remember!” So now I know. I tried to get them in date order - think this is right.

I wrote and illustrated all of them except for ‘Little Chapters of Chill’ (just the words - and btw are FREE to download), and ‘These Rights Are Your Rights’ (just the art).

I’m currently working on a young adult creative non-fiction and a picture book for schools. You can find more about my books on my website in bio.
