Pippa Goodhart – Editor
Pippa began her children’s book career as a bookseller and advisor to publishers before beginning to write books herself. She’s had over a hundred titles published, some of them award-winning.
They range from picture books such as million-plus selling and Mumsnet and York Libraries award-winning You Choose, illustrated by Nick Sharratt, through early readers such as the Winnie the Witch storybooks (written under the fake name of Laura Owen) to historical novels for 8-12 year olds such as Northern Book Award shortlisted ‘Raven Boy’.
As well as teaching a course on writing for young children via Jericho Writers, Pippa also teaches at Cambridge University’s Institute for Continued Education. She also does lots of school visits. When not doing book-related things, Pippa is busy with family and village life (including appearing as an extra in the ITV murder mystery series Grantchester!).
