About the Author
Kimberley Kinloch (Author)
Kim always loved reading and writing from a very young age. One of her earliest memories is eagerly reading her own stories to her primary school class, every week.
She went on to study Creative Writing at Roehampton University and later became a Children's Bookseller at Waterstones. This was where she fell in love with children's books and never looked back.
After university, she knew she wanted to work in children's publishing and eventually became a member of the brilliant Usborne sales team. However, she recently returned to her writing roots, joining the buzzing editorial team. Now she can be found writing stories for Usborne or reading stories to her two young daughters - feeling so happy she didn't give up on her dream.
