AuthorZone Magazine - over 200 authors and illustrators revealed!

AuthorZone 4 — Articles Galore!
Jacqueline Wilson's agent tells us what it's like looking after her stars...
...and Jacqueline provides an intriguing photographic insight into her life along with Malorie Blackman, Anthony Browne, Morris Gleitzman, Kaye Umansky, Michael Morpurgo, Colin Hawkins and Lauren Child.

Then there’s Philip Pullman, Geraldine McCaughrean, Adele Geras, Ian Whybrow, Pat Hutchins, and Laurence Anholt joining forces with their sons and daughters to tell us a few home truths about their lives.

And Harry Potter took over Fiddy Henderson’s house! Fiddy is JK Rowling’s PA, and she tells us how she moved him out, and how she copes with Harry’s mad office routine.

Eoin Colfer, and Lemony Snicket (also known as Daniel Handler) write separately about “the fame thing” – what it’s like, and how to keep it in check.

We have a long-awaited interview with Maurice Sendak creator of The Wild Things, and top illustrators - Nick Sharratt, Catherine Anholt, Korky Paul, Mick Inkpen, Jacqui Hawkins, Shoo Rayner, Anthony Browne & Christian Birmingham, and Allan Ahlberg - ask the questions.

And if that wasn’t enough, Jeanne Willis and Hiawyn Oram team up and tell us to “Keep it Short” whilst Kaye Umansky interviews Martin Jarvis about the William Books, Gervase Phinn embroiders a story, The British Museum let us behind the scenes, Story Tellers tell all, there’s some awful author jokes and some oh-so-sweet early childhood photographs of them, and even an Animal Ark competition – phew!

–Should keep you going for a whole year!

Ps: don’t forget, if your previous issues have gone missing, or have just worn out through constant use, we have them on special offer at £2.50 each! But hurry!
