Welcome!

Welcome, chums.

This Substack is for authors and illustrators - wannabe, debut, mid-career, end-career.

I’m Abie. I write children’s books.

I’ve been a published author for over 11 years. In that time, I’ve seen the full range from having a highly successful series, to having other books that hardly sell.

I work across lots of different publishers from picture books to middle grade in both traditional trade and education sectors. I like connecting with other authors and illustrators and I strongly believe that -

sharing information gives us power.

So I’m here to share. The ups and downs, the info, the gossip.
