The interviews from 1994 to 2008 are most of the children’s author and artist I talked to whilst I was the Children’s Editor for the trade paper Publishing News; the odd man out here is Joseph Heller, who never, as far as I know, ever wrote a kid’s book. From 2009 on the interviews have appeared on the websites of Books for Keeps (http://booksforkeeps.co.uk/), Hachette Children’s Books (http://hachettechildrensbooks.co.uk) and Just Imagine (www.justimaginestorycentre.co.uk); the interviews on the latter two sites are in Q&A format. The month references refer to when the interviews were published, and clicking on a high-lighted link will take you to a PDF – and keep scrolling, there’s over 20 years-worth here!
