Welcome to Claire Saxby's Website!
Welcome!
I'm an author of books and poetry for children. Have a look around. You will find information about my fiction books, non-fiction books, work in progress, workshops that I run, and other interesting projects.
Fellow local writers, illustrators and organisations are networked through the Links & Resources page. I am always happy to be contacted to exchange links...or just to chat. Or you can contact via my literary agent, Nan Halliday.
If you'd like to drop by my blog, the address is: www.letshavewords.blogspot.com
Thank you again for visiting. Enjoy the journey.
