About
Hello! I'm Imogen, an aspiring picture book creator!
You can find my writing and illustrations in the beautiful picture book anthology, Our Australian Heart by Just Write For Kids and Friends (Daisy Lane Publishing, 2024), and a number of other amazing kidlit publications. (Giant thanks to all the wonderful people who shepherd children's literature into the wild world!)
I live in Dharawal country in Sydney, with my husband, two little picture-book enthusiasts, and Bonnie, our beautiful dog. And here is a list of (additional) things I love!
