http://picturebookden.blogspot.com/2015/08/3-computer-tips-for-authors.html
Monday, 3 August 2015. Three Ways Authors Can Get the Most Out of their Computers • Jonathan Emmett. I don't think I'd have made it as a professional author without a computer's help. A question children often ask me on school visits is “do you write with pen and paper or on a computer? I’ve just gone without my computer for a week, while a faulty hard-drive was replaced. This absence reminded me how much I’ve come to depend on my computer and prompted me to write this post. First and foremost …. Macs ca...

I started illustrating children's books as soon as I left Art School (St Martins) a scarily long time ago. I wrote and illustrated (and hand lettered! A book of nonsense poems called "A Bad Case of Animal Nonsense" using some poems that I had illustrated for my degree show. Including a very graphic version of "I Know an Old Lady (who swallowed a fly)". The cow swallowing picture was somewhat extreme, but fun to draw ;-). The real turning point for me was when a Picture book I had written and illustrated,...

Picture Book Den: Creative Crafts from Books by Abie Longstaff
http://picturebookden.blogspot.com/2015/07/creative-crafts-from-books-by-abie.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Creative Crafts from Books by Abie Longstaff. I love the idea of books being cross-curricular, with 'We're going on a bear hunt' used to look at landscapes and nature, or 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to discuss life-cycles. My favourite way of playing with the ideas in books is to make crafts. I think it brings the stories alive. For Fairytale Hairdresser, of course, I have long-haired dolls for the children to style. Tail made by Sally Channon (Salstuff). There are lots of craf...
