Episode 3 - Emma Read

Emma Read is the author of Milton the Mighty, and it’s sequel Milton the Megastar, published by Chicken House books. She was shortlisted for the Bath Children’s Novel Award and is represented by Lauren Gardner.

Emma was once a very sensible biologist. Now she uses her transferable talents such as attention to detail, patience and fine motor skills, to extract Lego from under the sofa. And of course to write children’s books.

Her favourite things in the world are: badges, Death On the Nile, hats, foxes, deserts, desserts and Buck Rogers. Her one regret in life is never having trained to be an astronaut.

When not writing her own books, you can find Emma helping other writers at WriteMentor, as a Spark Mentor and a course tutor.
