Welcome Writers!

Hi, I’m Kate and writing is my passion. Over the years many writers have helped me along the way, including Amy Sparkes and Annaliese Avery. Now it’s time to share my knowledge and experience with new writers just as I was helped. I have been writing for over ten years.

It takes time to learn how to write for children and it can be tricky to know if your concept or plot are on the right track. So if you write for children take a look around my website and please get in touch

Supported by Arts Council England
