I felt very honoured when I was invited to write the foreword to this years edition of the Children’s Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook. I used this book on my journey to publication, and so it feels surreal to see my name on the cover.
If you are thinking of writing books for young people then you will need this book. It is the bible of the children’s publishing world, and things have changed so much and so quickly in the past year, you’ll need the newest edition.
In my foreword I share my mistakes and frustration on my way to finding my agent and achieving my first book deal. I hope it amuses and assists any who are hoping to write a book for young readers.
