Ariel Landy
Ariel Landy is a former teacher who can't believe she gets to draw for a living. When she's not working on her next book, she's likely dreaming up stories with her family, doting on her grumpy old dog, or pottering about her herb garden in southern France.
Bethan Clarke
Bethan Clarke has been a story maker-upper ever since she could write them back to front. This has proven to be a vital outlet for her love of silliness and fondness for puns. Bethan lives near Manchester with her partner, two children, two dogs and a headful of nonsense.

Villetta Craven
Villetta has spent many years writing and editing children's books, from activity books to complex novelty. She lives in London, home of her beloved football team, and loves spending time with her little boy having tickling competitions and making up nonsense words. She also spends as much time as possible in Italy, where she's trying to visit every region to figure out which is her favourite.
Sophie Beer
Sophie Beer is an award-winning illustrator living in Brisbane. She loves creating bright, fun designs with generous helpings of narrative. Revelling in colour, shape and texture, she lives by one rule: art should never be boring. When she’s not illustrating she can usually be found drinking tea, mooning over Joanna Newsom’s lyrics and indulging in her other passion – literature.
Ruby Amy Thompson
Ruby Amy Thompson spent almost a decade working in entertainment and comedy television, before going back to school to study illustration – the best decision she ever made! When she isn't drawing, you'll probably find her enthusiastically batch cooking, playing video games or perusing local coffee shops with her fiancé, Lisa.
