Caroline Plaisted

    This author's journey into literature is deeply rooted in her extensive experience in publishing and editing. Her passion for books blossomed while working in a library filled with children's literature, where she encountered numerous authors and illustrators. These encounters fueled her desire to create her own stories, particularly for young readers. Her editorial roles across various publishing houses and at the BBC provided her with a comprehensive understanding of literature for all ages. Now a freelance book editor and writer, she continues to draw from her rich background in the world of books.
