Fabulous Candy, I'm really delighted for you!! I remember years ago reading about your Notes from the Slushpile blog, before I joined SCBWI. I think it may have been mentioned in an old Children's Writers and Artists's Yearbook. Well, now you may ...

About Me
TALL STORY by Candy Gourlay Under the Weather Animal Tricksters by Candy GourlayCbeebies Radiomy blog

I am British SCBWI's webmaster and I passionately believe that the rise of the social web is an exciting opportunity for children's authors to engage with readers.


My novel TALL STORY will be published by David Fickling Books in June 2010.


In 2008, my 8+ chapter book Ugly City won a place in SCBWI's first Undiscovered Voices anthology.


My short story How to Build the Perfect Sand Castle is featured in Under the Weather, an anthology of short stories on climate change published by Frances Lincoln and edited by Tony Bradman.


I have written a short anthology of animal trickster stories for Oxford University Press and a series of stories for Cbeebies Radio on BBC 7.


I am represented by Hilary Delamere of The Agency.

 

 

What are you working on at the moment?

 

I am working on a teen novel tentatively titled, PARADISE, NOT a coming of age novel with a little bit of culture clash, horror and original sin.

 

 

What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?

 

 

If at first you don't succeed, write another book.
