Olive Becomes Famous (and Hopes She Can Become Un-Famous)

Hello! I write chapter books, middle grade books, and YA books (under the name M.C. Atwood), and teach creative writing and publishing at Rowan University. I LOVE doing all of that. And when I’m not writing or teaching, I’m going to haunted houses, eating (dairy free!) ice cream, and/or diving into magical worlds feet-first. I’m also hanging out with my two cats–and by hanging out, I mean doing whatever they say. What? They talk to me! That’s normal. . . right?

Lucy Fleming lives and works in a small town in England with an animator and a little black cat. She has been an avid doodler and bookworm since early childhood, drawing everyday, bringing characters and stories to life. When not at her desk, Lucy loves to be outdoors in the sunshine with a hot cup of tea–doodling, of course. She is the illustrator of Hello, Fall!, written by Deborah Diesen.

Since studying at art school, Gareth Llewhellin has been lucky enough to turn passion into career, illustrating and painting for all forms of publishing and more over the last 20 years. He lives just outside Winchester in Hampshire, UK, with his wife and two young boys, taking inspiration from their playful ways and habits for the next thing to put pencil to paper.
