Kes Gray

Stay aged 8 as long as you possibly can! Have a love of life and silly things and enjoy your writing.

A picture book has to follow a certain format, usually 12 two-page spreads, a twist at the end and a good title. If you bear that in mind you've a much better chance of getting it right!

Hilary Robinson

Rejection is part of life. If you have a dream, persevere. Don't give up
