For the finale of Season One, a banger for you - an interview with the wonderful Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coehlo! Joe talks us through balancing writing with the responsibilities of Laureate-ing, his notebook organisation, working with illustrators, all while I ogle his beautiful jumper.

Thank you to Joe and to all the interviewees who've made this podcast happen and be a lot of fun to make.

This is a cracking interview with the funny and fantastic historical fiction children's writer (plus she does a whole tonne of other impressive stuff) Iszi Lawrence. She's the talent behind 'The Time Machine Next Door series' for 7-9 year olds as well as many splendid stand-alone middle grade novels including acclaimed 'The Unstoppable Letty Pegg'.

We talk through historical research, beautiful notebooks, having hobbies for fun and much, much more.

A magical-feeling chat with fantasy children's writer Amy Wilson. We tucked ourselves up by a log fire in Amy's house, even though Amy was getting over a bad cold at the time. It's brilliant to hear from Amy how she manages the life/ writing juggle and how inspiration can strike at any moment - you'll look at school runs and supermarket trips in a new way.
