Alex Craggs - Children's Scribbler and Squiggler

You got to have a dream.
If you don't have a dream.
How you gonna have a dream come true?
(Happy Talk, South Pacific)

Hello, I'm Alex, and the big chap holding the small chap. By day I have a prosaic career in IT. It pays the mortgage plus a little more besides and I am very lucky to have it. By night I am a writer and illustrator of children's stories. It pays for nothing, in fact it costs me money and I love it.

Who knows if it will one day be writing and drawing that pays my mortgage? I don't. But I'm dreaming, chasing it, and hope to create that new book you love! (And before that small chap and his little brother become too big!)

I want to delight people with my work. If I succeed with you please let me know by email or leave a message on the blog, and if by chance you're an enthused agent or publisher, I am equally enthused and looking for the breakthrough!
