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.
If you'd like to drop by my blog, the address is: www.letshavewords.blogspot.com
Thank you again for visiting. Enjoy the journey.
