I live in Oxford, England. When I’m not writing I go swimming in the river. I write other types of books too; some are about parenting and wellbeing. I discovered audio – and Yoto – when my youngest got one for her birthday. I love how children can learn to follow a more complex story, even if they are still beginning readers. When Yoto ran its inaugural Audio Maker Competition in 2023 I knew I had to enter a story. Coming joint second with the Great Fish Rescue was completely amazing!
Audio is such a fantastic way for children to access stories. I love the way they can learn to follow a more complex story, even if they are still discovering out how to decode letters. For a writer it’s a dream to be able to share my work directly with children.
