Ovie is going to have girls upon girls on him. Where's the cue?


The Lion King was EVERYTHING!!!! I swear me and Ebz were acting like we were in a sing along, a talk along, laughing too damn loud. It's visually such a gorgeous film  and there are a few different lines but it's still the same movie. I wish Rafiki was more fresh though. He was a bit more turnt in the animation and I wonder why Whoopi Goldberg didn't do the hyena's voice. Timon and Pumba are even funnier in this one.
Ebz: Oh my gosh, Timon is you!
(To be fair everything Timon said was defo something I would say)
Me: Does that make you Pumba?
We stayed to the end because you know that Marvel has programmed us to think that there is a bonus part. There isn't but the soundtrack is live! We were getting side eyes from the stewards but we didn't care. Hakuna Matata.


This is the look of a woman who's officially in Leo season. It''s my birthday in 7 days. Let bear month begin :)

The Open Pitch Day at Hashtag BLAK was ...interesting. First of all there was a million graduations at Southbank so we had to go to the members area. Then there were no seats, so we were in a random corner, sweating and tweeting like mad so people would know where we were. Then Twitter wasn't even telling me about any DM's so missed people messaging me. How annoying! Thankfully we saw a free table right in the middle and grabbed it. I don't know why we didn't think to have any form of sign saying Hashtag BLAK. Thankfully every author that walked by looking confused or lost was for us. In the end it was good and we did talk to some great people with books that sound good so fingers crossed. We probably will do another one again, maybe in the evening this time.

We have a summer sale on! Hurray! Head on over to The Author School, Hashtag Press and ink! for some discounts for the whole of August! You're welcome writers!




Love Island is over! First time watching it and I am obsessed. So glad for Amber. She so deserved it. Everyone is cussing India for coming in late and potentially winning with Ovie but Greg I'm sure came in at the same time and won! Ovie is going to have girls upon girls on him. Where's the cue?

What I love the most about what I do is when, without realising it, I inspire someone. Let's keep it real I don't think I'm inspiring so it's always so surprising when someone thinks I am. I had the NICEST tweet sent to me with a blog link attached by a writer called Tenelle and it was called 5 People in Publishing who inspire me and one of them was me!!! It actually made me cry. I was just like wow! I can't believe someone thinks of me like this.  Just reminds me that you never know who's watching you!

My next book Emily Knight book 3 is out in 2020!! If you're not up to date with the series, I honestly don't know what to say :)  Purchase a copy via Amazon or via my website and then you get free merchandise.

My meeting with an agent

Those of you who have been following this blog from the beginning will know that I've been trying for years to get an agent. Well I have the best news...I HAVE A LITERARY AGENT!!!!!!!! Omg I was in so much shock when they responded and it wasn't the rejection letter I was used too. You're probably wondering how did this happen right? Remember when I went to The London Book Fair? My PR told me to go through the exhibition directory and message all the literary agents for a meeting. Whilst I was doing that, most of them had links to their sites so I figured why not submit for the thousandth time, you never know. The directory is super long so I got bored doing it and Helen (PR) kept emailing 'Have you finished it?' All I can say is thank Jesus that she did that because that's when I submitted to Raimondi and Campbell. I got a response to read the whole of the novel. Now I've been at this position before and it usually ends there, so I sent the book in. Th...

2012 = A Legendary Year!!!

So today is the last day of the best year I have ever had. Honestly, I was told by my Pastor that this year would be like Days of Heaven on Earth and it really was. Just a few of my highlights  - Releasing my first ever book, Emily Knight I AM - Going to the Brit Writers Awards 2012 - All the amazing interviews I got to do for my book with BBC 1XTRA, Brit Writers etc and the recommended reads my book got as well as the free advertising! Cheers!  - Having a launch party  - Passing my driving test and getting a car for Christmas  - Being promoted at work  - Becoming a blogger for Brit Writers  - Going to the Olympics  - Booking Stratford Circus to host Myself's show Icon in March 2013  - Performing at Breakin' Convention for the 2nd time  - Filming Street Dance All Stars The Movie and filming BBC 1's The Apprentice Woo it has been a great year for me and for the people I care about and I am so ready to see 2013!!! ...

2012 is the year where you'll know my NAME!

I know, I know. Saying I've been busy is no excuse for not writing in this blog but trust me I have been. So the good news. I went to New York which was fun for Chelsea (fellow bloggers) bday. We were so lucky that we had missed the snow and got loads of sun in November. Got to see the Statue of Liberty, up close, Times Square, 5th Avenue, went up the Empire State Building and of course the International House of Pancakes! I thought it would resemble the Hard Rock Cafe but the look is very laid back, the portions are not. The shopping side wasn't brill because their tax is so high it's not worth it and don't even let me get started on the street numbers and avenues. Confused! Me and Chels walked everywhere just because it was so confusing. I had a six pack when I got home. One of the highlights of the hol was definitely the musicians on the subway who were so lost in their music they kept forgetting that they weren't in Madison Square Gardens (We went there, I brief...
