Thanks for inviting me to talk 😊

I will 😊

I’m devastated by the news that my client Nick Sheridan died yesterday. Nick was a brilliant author who loved writing for children, and a great friend. He lit up every room he walked into and was a joy to be around. My thoughts are with everyone who loved him.

We're taking a look back on our amazing 2023 programme, while also telling you to keep your eyes peeled for an announcement very soon 👀 #KRF2023 #KRF2024
