Helen Tamblyn-Saville (she/her)

So glad that we are seeing glimpses of spring and sunshine at last!

Ploughing through emails and event organising and admin powered by Tubular Bells and coffee. Guess which piece of music is my current hyperfixation.

Turned out... I did! Thank you!

I'm awake and getting ready for long run before going down to the shop, but I'm tired today 💤

Helen in Wonderland's London Marathon for BookTrust Help Helen Tamblyn-Saville raise money to support BookTrust

£22.78 to go to hit my fundraising target for BookTrust and a long run to do this morning. Can I get there before I get back? 🤔

Run With Us is an epic apocalyptic power ballad like no other, and then I remember it's the end closing credits to The Raccoons.

What business does a cartoon theme have being THAT good?

£142 to go to target!

£42 to get to £1900. Can I get there by the end of the month?

You did! And I just recommended it to a colleague at a conference and he's promised to go buy it from his local indie 💕

It was a nice morning for a long run a couple of days ago. Hoping it'll be okay tomorrow morning too as I'm over this rain. Alas, London Marathon training waits for no one.

Less than £200 to go before I hit my BookTrust target!

I have these hidden in my sock drawer! 😂

Continuing my list of children’s reading recommendations for the National Year of Reading. This time, we’re zooming in on comics. Just a few faves here and most are series. Titles and creators in the ALT text. #kidlit #kidscomics

Into the bin with people claiming that the best writers and artists will simply learn to use AI.

I can't even with how ridiculous that statement is and why am I even having this conversation with someone?

I don't think I want to know...

Can we stop with the "cutesy" AI generated pictures now, please? Bad for the environment and it also trains off the stolen work of human creatives.

Some Body Like Me.... Wait.

Loved Klara and the Sun.

Open Letter to the Bassetlaw District Council in Defence of Trans Residents On February 3rd, Bassetlaw District Council will vote on a motion proposed by Reform councillors. This motion isn't just "misleading"—it’s dangerous. It seeks to ban trans women from council services...

⏰ Last chance to sign and share!

Our open letter urging Bassetlaw Council to reject a discriminatory motion targeting trans people closes on 1 February at 23:59.

Add your name now and share widely. Every signature strengthens the call to reject this motion.

I'm in London now. Got up early and did 40 minutes around Holland Park on tired legs from walking around Oslo. Might go back to bed now.

I am so grateful to everyone! Thank you ❤️ Your kind support really does make all the difference.

SAME. 💔

I could, but I'll still be paralysed with indecision 😂

Alas, hand luggage only!

I'm off to Oslo on Thursday morning and I am being horribly indecisive about which book I want to take with me.

Getting ready to go out for a run. It's so important it is that children have access to books. I'd love to try to get to £1400 of my £2000 target for BookTrust by the end of Jan. £10 supports 3 babies with additional needs with books and resources.

Thank you ❤️

Why?! Just why?!
