IPG Children's Publisher of the Year

Elys Dolan

Elys says:
I’m thrilled to be coming to Nosy Crow because the people there really seem to understand the sense of humour in my work. They laughed their heads off at my book Weasels and anyone who can appreciate a tale of woodland creatures and megalomania like that are people I want to work with! Also it’s thrilling for me to be joining the ranks of some other Nosy Crow author/illustrators that I really respect, such as Nadia Shireen and Leigh Hodgkinson, who are so talented it makes me feel a little bit unwell. All in all, it’s a dream come true and I’m so over-excited I may have to go for a little
lie down.
