Gareth has written adverts on the telly, adverts on the radio, adverts on ginormous billboards that make you want to buy a pair of trainers and run really fast. But when he’s not doing that, he LOVES writing stories for children. Very silly stories starring very silly characters that are as memorable as any jingle. He lives in Warwickshire, not far from Shakespeare’s birthplace, but the similarities end there. Super Mega Tortoise, Gareth’s debut picture book with Beatrice Blue, published in April. This was followed by Cliff: The Man With a Seagull On His Head illustrated by the award-winning Alex Latimer. His debut young fiction series and middle grade series both launch next year. Gareth is represented by Jodie Hodges, United Agents.
