    uniE621 Children’s Books North Agency
    Children’s Books North Agency is a Manchester based agency representing Northern and Scottish authors and illustrators of picture books, fiction and non-fiction. I was approached by Emma to create a brand and website for her new agency which was launching as an offshoot of the Children's Books North network, which Emma had founded and run since 2020. Emma wanted the agency to have its own identity but to be recognisable as part of the Children's Books North brand. https://www.twine.net/signin…
