Writers who believe non-fiction matters

We are UK-based authors, with around 200 books to our names. You’ll see a selection from our books on the Showcase page.

We write ‘information books’ for readers of all ages, but especially for children and young people. Like many other writers and educators, we are concerned about how young people get information – and the quality of the information they are offered. Books, we believe, are vital to children’s enjoyment and understanding of the world, to complement all the other information technology at our fingertips.

Today information cascades over us. In our books and other media work for young people, we aim to inform and entertain. It’s a belief shared by others in our business: to present facts with accuracy, to stimulate imaginations, and to give readers, in all media, simply - the best.

That’s why we enjoy what we do. Welcome to our site, and please contact us if you’d like to know more about us and what we do.

A Few Kind Words...

"It’s always a great pleasure to work on a book with Brenda and Brian. Their text is well researched and written, and packed with interesting and unusual material. Deadlines are met. And when it comes to all those end-of-project bits and pieces, such as picture captions and tricky, last-minute questions, every request is met with lots of help and great efficiency!"
