Who am I?

I’m Katherine Richardson, children’s book author and illustrator and freelance journalist. 

I’ve been creating things ever since I can remember. Whether it was a ‘published’ book proudly presented to my mother (read: a stack of A4 folded and filled with the innermost workings of my 7 yo mind) or a polished university presentation, making things has always been a huge part of who I am.

You can check out my recent written and illustrative work using the menu above!

I’m always interested in a challenge and love working with passionate people, so if you would like to work together please email me at katherine-richardson@hotmail.com

Her design fit the brief and tied in well with the previous book in the series. I'd thoroughly recommend Kat for book covers and illustration and look forward to working with her again."
