Hi everyone! Well, as you can no doubt see, today I won’t be sharing a Friday book review as I usually do. Instead, I have some Big Exciting News to share with you! *Gulp* For the past several weeks I’ve been working behind-the-scenes on a secret project and I couldn’t be more excited (and slightly terrified) to finally share it with you today.
Without further ado, introducing…
Ever since I started creating wallpapers for The Writing’s On The Wall, I’ve received tweets and emails from readers asking if – or when – they might also be available in other formats. While I’ve always found great joy and satisfaction in graphic design and secretly dreamt of selling what I created in some capacity, it wasn’t until recently, with the help of some dear, dear friends, that I finally worked up the courage to pursue this seriously. I have had so much fun working on the products below, and I can only hope that you enjoy them, too! Be sure to follow me on Twitter at @Pop_Reader for all the latest updates about new designs, products and giveaways that I plan to hold in the future. I have many (many, many, many) ideas for future designs featuring some of my favourite novels including Pride and Prejudice, Little Women and Anne Of Green Gables that you won’t want to miss!
I would like to take a moment to thank Ashley Herring Blake, Ashley Duncan, Becky Albertalli, Sarah Moon and Tiff Ing for making all of this possible. Without their unwavering kindness, support and hand-holding along the way, I don’t know that I would have been able to make this dream a reality. They believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself, and I feel immensely lucky to call each of them my friends.
Please continue reading for a complete overview of the designs I currently have for sale!

Moving forward, I’m more than happy to take requests in regard to books or specific passages you would like to see featured in future designs. If there was a wallpaper I shared in the past that you loved and would like to see sold as a print or other product, please let me know! That said, I will never sell a piece based on a contemporary novel without the author’s explicit permission. I take intellectual property rights extremely seriously, and none of these creations would have been possible without the beautiful, original works on which they are based.

JEN. JEN. I don’t know what kind of magic you worked (nor how many souls you had to sell) but these are jaw-dropping GORGEOUS. I’m not even joking, I gasped as I was scrolling through these designs.
I’m so deliriously excited for you (and a little unexcited about what this means for my wallet ♥!)
