Passionate about books from a very young age, Shalini Vallepur received the award of Norfolk County Scholar for her outstanding grades. Later on she read English at the University of Leicester, where she stayed to complete her Modern Literature MA. Whilst at University, Shalini volunteered as a Storyteller to help children learn to read, which gave her experience and expertise in the way children pick up and retain information. She used her knowledge and her background and implemented them in the 32 books that she has written for BookLife Publishing. Shalini’s writing easily takes us to different worlds, and the serenity and quality of her words are sure to captivate any child who picks up her book. Before starting her career at BookLife in 2018, Amy Li graduated from De Montfort University with a first class BA(Hons) in Graphic Design and Illustration. Having a life-long passion for children’s literature, she is currently studying for a Master’s degree in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. Amy currently resides in Norfolk with her partner and cat, and enjoys drawing, reading, and all things Harry Potter.
