WRITING
‘THAT’S A JOB’ series – I LIKE MACHINES
I absolutely adored writing this, which features jobs with robo-dogs, drone bees and underwater vehicles! Available from Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Kane Miller, publisher.
‘THAT’S A JOB’ series – I LIKE MAKING THINGS
I also wrote this one! It features all the fantastic things we can make, from diamond rings and guitars to comfy sofas and fancy shoes. Available to pre-order, at Barnes & Noble.
The third book I wrote in 2022/23 is available in North America, distributed by Simon & Shuster and available on Amazon for pre-order – ‘Experience America as an ever-changing landscape in this fascinating visual guide depicting more than 200 iconic photographs of buildings and places that have made the United States the country it is today.’ My favourite? The majestic California redwoods…
LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG DREAMS: AMERICAN DREAMS – A Treasury of 40 Inspiring Americans – I provided additional text for the LPBD treasuries below, but I also do plenty of proofing and Americanising for their bestselling individual titles, from Queen Elizabeth and Freddie Mercury to Beyoncé and Leo Messi… my favourite? Olive Morris.
LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG DREAMS: TREASURY – 50 Stories from Brilliant Dreamers – additional text
COLOR & REVEAL – ANIMALS – author
I wrote the playful descriptions for readers to guess the animal they were colouring – and the titles were the most fun… Treetop Hopper, Happy Homebody, Escape Artist…
EDITING – so many! But here is a sampling…
Fourteen titles I’ve worked on over the past few years have made the publisher’s top 100 iconic titles! this includes award-winners and bestsellers such as Exploring the Elements and Full of Life by expert author Isabel Thomas and illustrator-extraordinaire Sara Gillingham as well as the gorgeous Our World: A First Book of Geography.
I was delighted to copyedit this book, written by the wonderful journalist and traveller Jo Tinsley, creator of ernest magazine. Gorgeous.
Another beautiful book to copyedit, not least for the great candour and humour applied by author and fabulous illustrator (who knew?) Caroline Quentin. A joy! Out in February 2024.
THIS BOOK WILL SAVE THE PLANET, project editor
This climate justice book – 2023 International Literacy Association award winner in the Social Justice Literature Award / Nonfiction category – was a true labour of love, with energising illustrations by the talented Aurélia Durand and wisdom from author and activist Dany Sigwalt. It is part of the ‘Empower the Future’ series, which includes NYT #1 bestseller THIS BOOK IS ANTI-RACIST as well as THIS BOOK IS FEMINIST.
