I cannot express enough how much everyone needs to I cannot express enough how much everyone needs to watch this film. It will change your life. It can save the world. I stumbled across the trauma-informed approach to treating mental-ilness when researching 'Are We All Lemmings And Snowflakes?' and it was a gamechanger. It opened me up to a completely different way of seeing myself, others, and the world around me. It's transformed how I tell stories, and the school visits I do. This film is an emotional deepdive into linking trauma with addiction, mental illness, physical illness, family history, capitalism, Donald Trump, prison reform, education reform, racial inequality and related health problems, and climate crisis. It's not about what's wrong with you, but what happened to you, and what happened inside your body because of what happened to you. Watch it. Learn, heal, pass on. A vital piece of work coming out at a vital time. I'll post a link in my stories. You sign up and pay a donation, and then a link to watch the film is emailed to you. And thanks to @the.holistic.psychologist for making me aware of this.
Please come along to my 10th YA book birthday part Please come along to my 10th YA book birthday party!!!! I'll be chatting to the brilliant @tanyabyrne about my career writing for teenagers. How has YA changed? What have I learned? How do you get inside the heads of teenagers when you keep getting older? It will be a night of laughter, my career fails and wins, painful adolescent memories, writing advice, and how all this reflection led to me writing The Yearbook. A story about the stories we tell and the legacy they leave behind. Also so thrilled Tanya is chairing as she's one of my favourite humans, and her new YA book 'After Love' is about to EXPLODE. Get your tickets from @Waterstones. It's on the evening of July 14th. Can't wait to see you there xxx #bookevents #yabooks #yafiction #HollyBourne10 #theyearbook
Low-key obsessed with this pop-up pub run out of a Low-key obsessed with this pop-up pub run out of a horsebox in the middle of nowhere. Just a keg, some haybales, and a sunset, and everyone has to walk there and find it on top of the downs. We call it 'Heaven' because, well, look at it...
