Lovely-looking Chinese editions of my @ bloomsburybooks.bsky.social books. My name is a complicated feat of writing though! Does bear wash its hair? Does monkey get grumpy? @adamming.bsky.social

Starting to write a new book and there's always a familiar feeling, like being at the bottom of a mountain with a long path ahead. I recognise this place, though. So - Head down. Foot forward. I need a bit of grit and focus and I will soon be halfway up. #kidslit #kidsbooks #kidlit #writing

UK copyright law consultation β€˜fixed’ in favour of AI firms, peer says Exclusive: Beeban Kidron says plans will lead to β€˜wholesale’ transfer of wealth from creative industries to tech sector

β€œThe government is suggesting a wholesale transfer of wealth from a hugely successful sector that invests hundreds of millions in the UK"

Baroness Kidron criticises Government's prioritising of the tech sector over the creative industries.

Unfortunately this happened in a young relative's school, with teachers telling her she 'should do better' than her favoured books at the time. One very annoyed auntie (me) makes doubly sure she gets lots of books SHE loves.

A crossroads for copyright The government’s consultation on AI is economically and strategically disastrous, and we must fight back.

Baroness Kidron likens the Government proposals requiring creators to opt their works out of AI training to "a corner shop from which you can steal, unless they post a message saying you must not."
