In this episode, Kathryn speaks to Anne Glennie – founder and director of Cranachan Books – about children’s publishing in Scotland. Anne talks candidly on the importance of representation in children’s publishing, as well as how children’s books can benefit older readers. We also cover changes in book reading and buying habits since the start of the pandemic and other aspects of running a children’s publishing house, like the creative process of working with writers as well as illustrators and marketing to parents and caregivers.
