Our Creatives

Kate Claxton - Author

Kate is an award-winning children's author living in Swindon, UK.

Originally from Northamptonshire, Kate went on to study for her BA (Hons) in Media Production at Coventry University. She has enjoyed a creative career in photography and theatre marketing since graduating in 2009.

Although writing has always played a part in her previous roles, it was the birth of her daughter that turned Kate's attention (and joy) to children's books.

Kate hopes to use her travel experiences and vivid imagination to write children's books set all around the world.
