This podcast is my stop on the blog tour for ‘The Boy Who Flew,’ by Fleur Hitchcock and published by Nosy Crow. We chat about subjects as diverse as ballgowns and baddies, as well as hearing about what Fleur has planned next. In case the interview has whet your appetite for some more brilliant titles by Fleur, I’ve rounded up her other Nosy Crow publications for you too. Remember to subscribe so you don’t miss out on next week’s episode featuring Jo Loring-Fisher chatting about diversity in children’s books.

This podcast is actually a part of the blog tour for Karen McCombie’s newest middle grade title which has just been published by Nosy Crow: ‘Little Bird Flies,’ a historical novel set on the remote Scottish island of Tornish, where free-spirited Bridie longs for something more then the narrow, predictable life she currently leads. As well as this interview, you can find a written review on my blog www.librarygirlandbookboy.wordpress.com I also recommend another more light-hearted series of Karen’s, the St. Grizzle’s School for Girls titles, published by Stripes Books and illustrated by Becka Moor.

Kate Wilson is the Founder and CEO of Nosy Crow, an award-winning child-focused, parent-friendly publisher of children's books. Kate has an extensive pedigree in publishing, but her decision to start a publishing company has its roots in a professional crisis that she's turned to a comprehensive victory! In this episode, we talk about the need to know yourself as a Founder, and to surround yourself with people who will complement your strengths (and weaknesses), and about how even commercial failures can be a great source of pride. Kate's story also highlights the importance of finding a support network - whether that's people on a similar journey or even stories and books about those who've trod the path before us.
