After school, I did a degree in illustration at Liverpool Polytechnic, then settled down to write my book. I didn't get very far, so applied for a job on my fave teen-mag Jackie.
About writer's events and projects:
Yes, I'm happy to do events. I usually do school visits, library talks, or book festival events and usually focus on writing, how I got started, or on the books themselves.
