Jane Clarke

Hello and welcome to my Amazon page.

I started writing for children at the age of 40 when I was working as a library assistant.There were plenty of rejections before my first picture book came out in 2001, but since then I have had lots more published.It's always a huge thrill to see the illustrations for the first time.

As well as books in my own name,I have poems in many anthologies for children and I was a 'ghost writer' for the exciting Dinosaur Cove series under the pseudonym Rex Stone.

It's great fun being a full time writer and I love to visit primary schools to share my books and talk about being an author, and to run poetry and/or creative writing workshops.

If you are interested in writing for children, I'd recommend checking out www.wordpool.co.uk and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators www.britishscbwi.org for invaluable help and advice.

Happy reading - and writing! Jane
