Samantha Howard-Els: Taking control
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.
