about me

I have been writing children's books for years. I do loads of other stuff, but my life's goal is to get a novel published. I have had so many 'near-misses' that I shall just plough on until it happens. Giving up is not an option.

favourite books

'What I Was' (Meg Rosoff), 'The Poisonwood Bible' (Barbara Kingsolver), 'The Gashlycrumb Tinies' (Edward Gorey), 'Ulysses' (James Joyce), 'Pride and Prejudice' (Jane Austen), 'A Spot of Bother' (Mark Haddon), 'Middlemarch' (George Eliot) 'Moonfleet' (J. Meade Faulkner)

Jelly-Boy

Julia Draper

Three days in a disused lighthouse with thirty-six squares of chocolate and a dead sea-gull. Crap half-term alert.


Dad's back from the war and Mum's trying to give up smoking again. We're supposed to be having quality time together in this crummy cottage by the sea. My phone's out of credit and we're a day's march from the nearest doughnut. I've considered running away. Although the running bit will be strictly speaking innacurate as walking is the only option in my case. They don't call me Jelly-Boy for nothing. Welcome to my world.

Hi. I'm very impressed with this; it's tight, well-crafted writing. I like your main characters and their setting, and the tone and content is just right for the teenage market. Backed and starred. You might like 'Jelly-Boy', which is aimed at roughly the same market. That is, if you can stomach ... view book

Hi. There's a lot to like here. An interesting skin condition, for a start, and a great hook at the end of each chapter. My reservation is, I guess, to do with that elusive 'voice'. I'm wondering how realistic your dialogue between the characters is. For example, if you listen to conversation it oft... view book

Hi Marissa. I'm hoping you might take a look at 'Jelly-Boy'. That is, if you can bear the thought of a hungry teenager gutting, cooking and eating a seagull! Julia Draper view book
