Georgia Buckthorn

Children’s author, editor and publisher with over 15 years’ experience creating engaging non-fiction, novelty and picture books for young readers

Creative non-fiction

I write children’s non-fiction for all ages, specialising in interactive formats and concepts that combine clear information with humour and play. My books are designed to engage even less-than-enthusiastic readers, and have been published successfully around the world.

Captivating picture books

My picture books include The Fairy Garden, shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. I write in a range of styles, from lyrical prose to laugh-out-loud rhyme.

Curriculum & educational

I also have extensive experience writing books for educational publishers, creating curriculum-linked and home-education titles that support learning clearly and confidently.
