It’s #NationalHatDay
To celebrate this day of fine headwear, here’s Imogen and Agreus (aka me and @thedavidgyasi) on @carnivalrow wearing some rather wonderful costumes designed by the brilliant @joanna_eatwell ✨
🧢🚨FUN HAT FACT: the hat David is wearing is THE ACTUAL HAT that inspired the dream I had where I got the idea for my children’s book #TheHatmakers ✨ it was specially made to fit over his horns and truly is a magical hat ✨🎩✨
Here’s a thing that is a thing!
The Hatmakers is a book now!
Please excuse my very excited photo but I just wanted to let you know that my book is a book with covers AND pages!
My name is on the spine of a book! The Puffin has his OWN LITTLE FRAME TO BE IN.

Hurrah for the visionary @joanna_eatwell and her brilliant team of artists for a massively-deserved Emmy Nomination! And equally massive congratulations to @composerbarr for a hugely deserved nomination for the gorgeous original music. ✨ Your amazing creations gave such life and story and texture, heart and history to the world of Carnival Row. 🧚♀️✨
We’ve lost a legend ❤️ Dame Diana Rigg once said, “There are some actors who don’t like to play bad; they like to be liked. I love to be disliked… ” Such a brilliant, witty soul and sensational actor. And a massive inspiration to be a more courageous artist ❤️
Home with my Womble, Minnie.
Her full name is Minerva McDoggagle.
She is 50% dachshund, 50% womble, and 100% sassy.
My book #TheHatmakers is out in America in 2 weeks! 🇺🇸 ✨And it’s out in England in 4 weeks! 🇬🇧 🥳
You can pre-order it now (effectively buying future-you a present, how generous) the link’s in my bio 😘 ✨🎩 ✨

This is such an epically good day 💜

Very much the beginning ✨
Something I’m learning as a novice novelist: draft 1s are hard!
Massive respect to anyone who has been trying to create things during this very strange and difficult time we’re living through. And serious respect to anyone living with anyone who is trying to create things, too (thank you @barnaby_douglas, you saintly paragon of patience and encouragement)

Instead of watching my phone, I am going to watch the clouds 💙
And (so my phone doesn’t get in the way of my view of the sky) I am taking a break from social media for a while. 😘

He puts it so succinctly and so clearly.
White people created white supremacy: White people need to do the urgent work of dismantling white supremacy.
Posted @withregram • @teachmrreed Y’all need to do this work.
I’ve been keeping this under my hat for a while… but I am SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED to finally be able to reveal the cover of my children’s book #TheHatmakers
And please throw your top-hats in the air ✨🎩✨ in celebration of the wildly talented @paoesc8ar for bringing Cordelia Hatmaker’s world to life in such vivid gorgeousness.
And hats off and a million thank-yous to the wonderful writers @acaseforbooks and @cat_doyle0 for their incredibly lovely quotes that grace the cover. 😘😘
I am wildly excited about this grand adventure and I can’t wait to invite you all into the world of magical millinery and mystery – the book is coming out on January 7th! ✨
THE EDGE is on BBC 2 tomorrow (Sunday 2nd August) at 9pm
Directed by the unorthodox treat otherwise known as @barnaby_douglas (I know the review is technically referring to a film he made, but I feel “unorthodox treat” describes the man as well as his movies), with gorgeous cinematography by @redoperator, whip-smart editing by @split_the_difference and featuring an absolutely stunning soundtrack by @felixwhite.
Tune in, BBC license fee-payers! (And even if you’re a fee-dodger, tune in anyway, it’ll be worth the fine!)
