Growing up by the seaside, Megan buried herself in books (and sometimes pebbles). She studied English at university, and later Children's Literature, before teaching English to teenagers in a secondary school. She now writes books for Usborne about all kinds of things, from trucks and trains to bats and ballerinas.
Katie has been writing non-fiction children's books for over half her life and loves questioning the world from a child's point of view. She's developed some of Usborne's bestselling series, including the See Inside books and Lift-the-flap Questions and Answers. When she's not writing, she likes paddleboarding, walking on the moors and playing competitive board games with her children.
