Founder of My Book Corner, Emma Perry is also a picture book author. Her debut picture book – I Don’t Like Books. Never. Ever. The End. illustrated by Sharon Davey – has been sold to 11 territories & was published by David Fickling Books in the UK, February 2020.

Her second book, This Book Has Alpacas and Bears, illustrated by Rikin Parekh, was published  June 2020.

More in the pipeline, but top secret for the moment!

Agent: Jodie Hodges, United Agents.

Emma Perry now lives in Bath, UK, but prior to that, she spent a lovely five years in Melbourne, Australia. Emma has been obsessed with books for as long as she can remember.

A graduate of English Literature, a teacher and organiser of International Book Giving Day, she adores being constantly surrounded by them – but fears for her safety should those tottering piles of books ever fall over.
