Cambridge

Thank you to everyone who was able to come to the Meet Your Local Authors event at Cambridge Central Library yesterday.

The afternoon was a fantastic success and lots of fun for all of us authors and/or illustrators and the many families who came along. We had children of all ages, from babies right up to early teens. There were FREE actives for all, such as: story reading, crafts, drawings techniques, quizzes and the chance for readers and creators of children's books to chat.

Big thank you to Anita Lehmann who made it all happen and for all the lovely SCBWI members who came along dressed as characters from their books and donated so many fantastic raffle prizes.

Final Note - I did have a couple of adults who talked to me about wanting to write for children. If this is you then my advice is to just do it but also find out about writing groups and support local to you. Writing is a craft, just like any other and you need to practice and learn in order to improve. If you want to know more about SCBWI go to the website: SCBWI British Isles.
