Polly Dunbar, the writer and illustrator of children’s books Penguin, Dog Blue and Flyaway Katie (all Walker), is the new online writer in residence for charity Booktrust.
Dunbar is the fourth writer to fill the post, replacing debut author and bookseller Evie Wyld.
She will run a weekly blog and invite online visitors into her artist's studio via the charity's website, as well as offering illustration and publishing tips. She has also created an exclusive, downloadable picture book available from the site.
The Brighton-based author said her new role was "a fantastic opportunity for me to connect with other book lovers" and said it would be "an exciting and no doubt daunting adventure sharing my day-to-day working life with an audience."
