Yesterday afternoon was amazing! I got to see the finished version of my book for the very first time and signed 750 copies - yes, my hand hurts but it was totally worth it, just look at that gorgeous blue sprayed edge! These are only available from independent bookshops but you can preorder now. Link in bio. Out 27th Feb.

As if the @justdancefitness dance weekend in Bournemouth couldn’t get any better, I spotted (now signed) copies The Shadow Pony in @waterstonesbmouth. Evan, Okie Dokie and Jesse were in great company sitting beside my @gll_literaryfoundation pal @bethanywwriter (BTW, If anyone in SE London wants an amazingly fun dance class, I highly recommend Fiona and @justdancefitness!) 07 Nov 2026

Fans of My Dog, have you preordered your copy of Worthington yet? If not, now is the perfect time because you can save 20% AND support independent bookshops. Just head to Bookshop.org from today until 27 September and preorder using the code: SEPT20. Bargain! Link in bio. Worthington is published by @harpercollinsch on 25 February 2027 and illustrated by the super talented @david_c_litchfield. 🐾❤️🐾 22 Sep 2026

Spellbound In Sandwich in Sandwich, Kent has been awarded a £1,000 donation by HarperCollins as part of a new initiative celebrating independent bookshops in the National Year of Reading! The bookshop was personally nominated by author Olivia Wakeford, whose books include My Dog and The Shadow Pony, in recognition of the contribution Spellbound In Sandwich has made to helping their work reach readers. The initiative, called ‘The Bookshop I’d Like to Thank’, sees HarperCollins UK distribute a total of £21,000 to 21 independent bookshops across the UK, each chosen by one of the publisher’s authors. The money can be used however the bookshop sees fit to develop their offer and bring more people into reading during the National Year of Reading – the UK-wide campaign encouraging the nation to read more in 2026. “Spellbound in Sandwich is the epitome of what an independent bookshop is all about: warmth, inclusivity, and community. On a wintry day in January, I was welcomed for a book signing like an old friend – as was my dog, Obi, who delighted in the treats and affection readily on hand! The visit is one of my most cherished author memories. I’m sure many of us dream of opening a bookshop, but doing so, at an economically challenging time, is no small feat, and speaks to Abigail’s passion to create a thriving environment where the magic of books is celebrated.” Tom Dunstan, Sales Director at HarperCollins UK, said: “Independent bookshops take risks on books, build relationships with readers, and champion authors in ways that simply can’t be replicated anywhere else. ‘The Bookshop I’d Like to Thank’ is our way of saying that HarperCollins hugely appreciates and values what they do, and what better time to do it than in the National Year of Reading. We’re enormously grateful to all our authors who took part so enthusiastically – the warmth and passion in their nominations has been remarkable.” #bookshopidliketothank #harpercollinsprize #nationalyearofreading2026 #goallin2026 17 Sep 2026

❤️ We love this and we can’t wait for publication day! ❤️ Incredible work @wakefordwrites @harpercollinsch and @david_c_litchfield ❤️ 17 Aug 2026

One question I often get asked on school visits is ‘will there be a sequel to My Dog?’ Well, the answer is… YES! Worthington will be published on 25th February 2027 and the incredibly talented @david_c_litchfield has created a beauty of a cover, once again. I’ve loved writing this book so much and I put a lot of my feelings about missing Obi (my inspiration for the character of Worthington) into it 💔😭, so expect a few tears - but then it wouldn’t be one of my books if there weren’t tears, would it?! Here’s a bit more about it: A phenomenally moving animal adventure about acceptance, friendship and dogs! Rhys is starting secondary school and everything is different. But when his puppy Whirly vanishes from the garden, it’s all Rhys can think about. As he searches for Whirly, Rhys glimpses a familiar big, black Labrador in the shadows – his old friend, Worthington. Comforted by Worthington, Rhys slips back into old habits, keeping secrets from those he’s closest to. Then other neighbourhood dogs go missing. Rhys realises Whirly is in more danger than he thought, and time is running out to save him. With Worthington by his side, can Rhys learn to trust his friends to find Whirly, and bring him home? Worthington is available to pre-order now from all good bookshops :) Thank you so much to the amazing team at @harpercollinsch and especially my brilliant editor @meganreid12 for everything they’ve done to bring this story to life. 🐾🐾 #childrensbooks #newbook #dogbooksforkids #dogs 11 Aug 2026
