Looking North: An indispensable directory of Children's Books North members

The British isles may seem like a small place but it’s really not. Events in the UK tend to happen in the south - roughly London down. The lovely people at Children’s Books North - Tilda Johnson, Emma Layfield and Liz Scott have asked writers, illustrators and those in the children’s book industry north of London (North East, North West, Yorkshire and Scotland) to join together. So far there have been two in person meet-ups post the global health event; one in Leeds & one this summer in Edinburgh.

Tilda Johnson said: ‘The Directory is a key resource in our aim to connect the children’s book professionals living in our regions, to promote our members' work, and to champion the importance of regional diversity in children’s books and the publishing industry.’

If you’re a creative in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Scotland please consider joining us - it’s free & a lovely community to boot.
