Sam Baer (Author)
Sam Baer grew up on the tiny island of Jersey before setting off on
adventures in not-quite-so-tiny England. Since 2011, he's been
writing books about everything from imps and elves to Victorian
fashion. It's a dream job - almost as good as being a
superhero.
Andy Prentice (Author)
Ever since he read the Spy's Guidebook when he was eight, Andy has
wanted to write books for Usborne. He's very happy that he got to
fulfill his dream. As well as writing books and stories for
Usborne, Andy has published several fantasy novels about demons and
dark magic. He likes playing board games and making up imaginary
worlds.
Rachel Firth (Author)
Rachel spent 11 years studying and teaching philosophy at the
universities of London and Oxford before joining Usborne. Since
then she has written books on subjects ranging from knights, to
food, to philosophy, as well as retelling folk stories, and writing
children's versions of numerous novels.
Lara Bryan (Author)
Lara has loved books since the days of being read bedtime stories
by her Irish dad and French mum. At school she set up a secondhand
bookshop called Books Change Lives, and went on to study English
and Italian at Oxford University. After teaching in Italy and
Myanmar, she got her dream job as a writer for Usborne Publishing.
From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting
activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every
minute of the job.
Matthew Oldham (Author)
Matthew writes books for Usborne about all sorts of subjects,
including history, science and Planet Earth. Before he did this, he
studied English at university and worked for the BBC where he made
funny radio programmes. In his spare time he likes to ride his
bike, visit all kinds of museums and read on his sofa as much as
possible.
