I write educational fiction, non-fiction and teacher resources for a wide range of publishers and have over 100 books published by a wide range of publishers. I review children's books and conduct author interviews on my blog. I do school visits as well as run workshops and seminars on Writing for Children and I am available to be a Writer in Residence. I am on the Educational Writers' Group committee for the Society of Authors and I am the SCBWI British Isles Membership coordinator.
