- About Me
- I'm a writer and SCBWI volunteer.
- What are you working on at the moment?
- The Apothecary's Apprentice - a YA thriller for set in 1664.
- If you had to recommend just one children's book you've read in the last year, what would it be?
- The Crowfield Curse AND The Crowfield Demon by Pat Walsh - read them both NOW.
White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick.
I must have a thing about Crows!
- What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
- Just do it! When your inspiration and enthusiasm have taken a walk, keep writing anyway. Advice I freely give to others but could really do with taking myself!

Hi Sue
Thank you for welcoming me and for inviting me to join your Friends. I haven't really settled in yet, but I have put in entries for the Badge competition and the Undiscovered Voices...Jill
Hi Sue, Thank you so much! This is all a bit overwhelming - there is so much to see and do. I am delighted to have begun my SCBWI adventure.
All the best,
Meagan
hello Sue,
just thought I'd spend a bit of time looking at the sight. I've never done any social networking so am a complete novice. I got my pack in the post from USA this morning = Very Exciting!!!! I'm looking forward to chatting to people via the Ning(?). Might even work out how to get a decent photo of me up in a week or two.
cheers
Rachel, in grey old cumbria
