Greg James
Greg James and Chris Smith are the multi-award-winning and bestselling authors of The Twits Next Door, The Kid Who Fell Through Time, The Great Dream Robbery, Super Ghost, and the Kid Normal series. Their books have been translated into over 20 languages and have been shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Laugh Out Loud Book Award.
They are founding members of the Primary School Library Alliance, a campaign launched by Penguin Random House and the National Literacy Trust to address the lack of investment in UK primary school libraries. For their work promoting literacy in schools, they were awarded the Ruth Rendell Literacy Award in 2024.
Outside of their writing partnership, Greg James is a radio and television broadcaster. Chris Smith is a solo author of acclaimed children’s books, including Frankie Best Hates Quests, Clarity Jones and the Magical Detective Agency, and The New Famous Five, a series inspired by Enid Blyton.
Emily Jones wanted to illustrate children’s books for a living immediately after reading ‘I want my potty’ by Tony Ross. It’s been a little while since that pivotal moment in Jarrow library aged 7, but she has finally achieved it.
She lives in Cardiff with her partner and her English Bull Terrier Whippet Cross, Augustus, who, despite having never entered a beauty pageant, would definitely win one.
