Hello!
I’m Kirstie, a children's author-publisher and self-publishing mentor based in Milton Keynes, UK.
I'm the author behind the Amazon best-selling picture book, The Witch’s Cat and the Cooking Catastrophe, and have since published several more picture books, including the award-winning, The Fairies: Petal & Nettle & The Big Birthday Surprise and the Kindle Storyteller shortlisted, Tales of The Witch's Cat.
I help indie authors self-publish their books. Whether you're an aspiring author or have already published, find out how I can help you achieve publishing success here.
I love to visit schools where I get to combine my passion for writing, with a knack for inspiring children to get reading and writing. Find out more about my school visits here.
