Authors and illustrators

Marion Lindsay grew up drawing pictures and inventing stories so it made sense that she would end up being a children’s book illustrator. She studied at Cambridge School of Art, graduating in 2010 with a master’s degree in children’s book illustration and the Egmont Best New Talent Award. She lives in Cambridge and draws all day long, in her spare time she decorates things that don’t move fast enough to get out of the way.

Mark spent his childhood drawing, playing football till dark, and reading Marvel superhero comics. He didn’t make it as a footballer or superhero, so he became the next best thing: a writer and illustrator of children’s books. Mark lives in Warwickshire with his wife and his two little superheroes, who happily play football till dark with their dad!
