Malorie Blackman

Writing is a brilliant way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. Turning it into stories is even better. But writing anything is good, even writing a diary is getting into a good habit — and writing and reading is fun!

Anyone who is thinking of writing, have a go and don't give up! I started writing at 26 and my first book was published at 28, but I had 82 rejection letters before I got published.

A list of Malorie's books at www.achuka.co.uk, a great children's book web site.
