    WHO I AM
    Hello, I'm Jen Campbell. I'm an award-winning poet and bestselling author of twelve books, spanning short stories, poetry, picture books, and nonfiction.
    My books for adults include Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit, The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night, The Girl Aquarium, The Bookshop Book, and The Sunday Times bestselling Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops series. My picture book trilogy Franklin and Luna, and my middle-grade book The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers, are published by Thames & Hudson. I've won both an Eric Gregory Award and the Jane Martin Poetry Prize, and my books have been translated into twenty languages.
    I've worked in the publishing industry for over fifteen years, initially as a bookseller, and now as a freelance editor, content creator and disability advocate. I review books online, in print and on the radio. I run a RUclips channel where I talk about books, the history of fairy tales, and the representation of disability and disfigurement. I also offer online writing workshops and editorial services, give talks at schools, publishing companies, universities and book festivals on a variety of topics, and I run a book club for TOAST clothing.
    If you would like to speak with me about the possibility of working together, please get in touch via email: jenvcampbell@gmail.com x

    What fantastic questions! And such sweet baby noises 😊
    My favourite audio so far this year is How To Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair, it's amazing, she reads it beautifully.
    I'm excited about Familiaris by David Wroblewski, the sequel to the girl with the louding voice, the new Anna James middle grade series and the new Sally Rooney 😊 x

    Not me finding out after reading both The Mother and The Dream House that Richard Armitage narrates them!!! I've enjoyed going back into crime/mystery/thriller books through your recommendations. I had been in quite an extended reading slump but they've really got me excited about reading again! So thank you! And loved hearing your happy daughter ❤
