New2theScene

Meet Samantha Howard-Els, creator of the beautifully illustrated Mungo series for 4-7 year olds. We chat about life as an author in South Africa, the good, bad and ugly of self-publishing, and finding a genre that suits your style.

Learn what it takes to be a children's author, the process of working with an illustrator (and friend), and what it means to have total control of a publication.

Get to know Sam better with our New2theScene presenter, and hear about the many hats an author wears, and how it often takes them outside their comfort zone.

Follow us on Instagram (new2thescene.official) for the latest offers, news, and upcoming podcast guests, and visit our bookstore at new2thescene.co.uk to order books mentioned in this or other podcasts, and unearth new talent.
