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 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.
