Made my debut in Murder on the Puffing Billy Express (a murder-mystery train show) on Saturday evening. So much fun to be part of and really honoured to be among a cast of such talented people. Here’s me doing my best wealthy-1920s-artefacts-collector-slash-murder-suspect. 🚂🗡🎭

Throwback to Love YA festival in Brisbane last month... @kawaiiklaws did fabulous book-inspired nail art - I obviously had to get the rainbow design inspired by Night Swimming’s cover! 🌈💅🏽

#LoveYA18 was absolutely brilliant - it was such a pleasure to present an author to author in conversation session with Cath Crowley, and attend Paula Weston and Ellie Marney’s sessions. The audience and team running the event were all wonderful and there were so many other fun aspects - the Words In Deep Blue-inspired Letter Library! Face-painting! Book-inspired nail art! Such a fun day. 📚💅🏽#LoveOzYA #Repost @brisbane_writers_festival

#Repost @thestellaprize with @get_repost ・・・ @stephbowe shares their advice to their teenage self ahead of Girls Write Up Brisbane.⠀ ⠀ 'Don't be so hard on yourself - you're doing much better than you think. (But try to stress a little less.) Remember that being happy is more important than being successful, and that external success can't make you happy. Don't feel like you have to compromise yourself to make people like you. Stay weird. Be kind. Enjoy your life. Not much else matters.'⠀ ⠀ Tickets for this Friday are available from the link in our bio. Book a spot for the teen in your life. #GWU18.⠀ ⠀ Steph Bowe is a 23-year-old YA author whose novels include Girl Saves Boy, All This Could End and Night Swimming. She grew up just outside Melbourne and now lives in South-East Queensland. She was one of triple j's inaugural 25 Under 25 and won Express Media's award for Outstanding Achievement By A Writer Under 25 in 2010. Steph is a Stella Schools Ambassador.⠀
