Amanda Li (Author)

island. She hopes to use one of these skills in the future.
Amanda has worked for clients from The Imperial War Museum to The
Scouts Association and has had more than seventy books published.
She also works as a ghost writer and as a creative consultant,
devising ideas for children's brands and licences. Before becoming
a freelance writer, Amanda studied illustration and design, then

years. She lives in south-west London with her husband and two
daughters.
Amy Blackwell (Author)
Amy Blackwell was born and raised in the middle of England to two
creative parents, and was actively encouraged from day one to
paint, print, make, mend and draw. It was in her blood and
unavoidable.
She’s inspired by the weird and wonderful, clashing colours, the
natural world, history, fashion and folklore - which is to say most
things. Her drawings appear in all shapes and sizes, sometimes
appearing on a digital platform or a bit of cardboard, wooden beads
to fabric, walls to watercolours. Amy’s work is bright and
colourful, playful, a bit scribbly and often can be a little bit of
an overload on the eyes. "If in doubt, cover it in patterns" is a
quote she could quite happily live by.
