There are so many: Dorothy Koomson, Patrice Lawrence – anything Patrice does. Elle McNicoll; I thought her A Kind of Spark was a brilliant, brilliant book. And I do love my graphic novels: I really enjoyed BB Alston’s Amari and the Night Brothers, and I want to read his latest one. How are you with managing distractions such as social media when you write? I’m guessing, with your productivity, pretty good…Because I didn’t make it up, did I? It’s all true! I had to revisit past events, dig deep into memories… There’s certain things in my life where I thought, OK, well, I can just put that to one side, never have to revisit that again. But obviously I did for this book. I wrote the autobiography because I just really wanted to talk about the truth Now in 2022 and three years after her mention in Stormzy’s Superheroes, Just Sayin’ is Merky Books’ first major memoir. Getting more personal, Malorie spoke about her daughter, Elizabeth. She also touched on the miscarriage of her first daughter, Tara. Malorie shared: “They brought her [Tara] to me and… she could fit in the palm of my hand at 14 weeks. Perfectly formed. And it took me a long, long time to get over it.” Reading an excerpt from her memoir, Malorie read: “I do think of you [Tara], often.” Join Malorie as talks with author, journalist and TV presenter Candice Brathwaite to share how she gravitated to imaginary worlds and realms to escape her complicated childhood.

Just Sayin’ is an ode to the younger Malorie, and all the disconnected dreamers like her, as she shares the darker moments that led to her status as a world-renowned author and inspirational writer.Just Sayin’ is published by #Merky B ooks, the imprint launched by the musician Stormzy and Penguin Random House with an aim to “own – and change – the mainstream”. Was that something you wanted to get behind? Short story in the multi-author collection The Crew and Other Teen Fiction, Heinemann Library, ISBN 0-431-01875-8 Not only do we get to see all of that, but more about why she wrote her books too. I was especially interested in hearing more about where her spark for Noughts and Crosses came from and that publication process. In some cases, anger fuelled her, and sometimes it was exclusion and defying the odds, and sometimes imagination... it's also a very true story about perserverance which was reassuring to see from this great author, as someone who is an aspiring author as well.

The long-awaited autobiography of one of the world's greatest children's writers, and an empowering and inspiring account of a life in books. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y "Awards and Prizes".

I watched the Alan Yentob interview whilst reading the book and it gave me images to go alongside the narrative, for example the homeless shelter she moved to whilst at grammar school. I highly recommend this too.

Dare to be Different" (illustrated by Jane Ray) in the multi-author collection Dare to be Different, Bloomsbury Publishing, 1999, ISBN 0-7475-4021-7 For access to the Queen Elizabeth Hall auditorium seating rows A to C and wheelchair spaces in the Front Stalls, please enter via the Artists' Entrance in the Queen Elizabeth Hall Slip Road (Level 1). Mainly: Thank God I lived long enough to finish it! And: Thank God that’s done! OK, to be serious about it, it’s been a hell of a journey, which I’m really grateful for because it’s been 20-odd years. But I really do feel with the end of Endgame that really is it. And anyone who’s read it will know why. If there are more books written in that series, they won’t be by me. This book is an account of that journey, from a childhood surrounded by words, to the 83 rejection letters she received in response to sending out her first project, to the children's laureateship. It is an illuminating, inspiring and empowering account of the power of words to change lives, and the extraordinary life story of one of the world's greatest writers.
