  Sarah Bannister          

A childhood fascination of magical fantasy has lingered into Sarah’s adulthood to feed an ever developing and imaginative talent for writing children’s stories and poetry.   Her own children have been the leverage she required to feed the latent talent she has found so fascinating.  The ease of which she can conjure a story and capture the imagination of her two small children has proven to her how rewarding it is to be able to tell a mystical tale.   

At college Sarah studied art and photography, and graduated from the London College of Fashion qualifying in hair and make up for the catwalk. Her unique body painting work was commissioned and used commercially.   

She has studied the imagination of children whilst developing her writing and illustration skills, and they have inspired her characters and stories.  

Face painting at local charity events was one way she was able to reach out to the imagination of children, and some of her best characters in her stories came from this!   

To help Sarah to understand her audience she studied child development and psychology.   

Her target market is for children aged 3 and upward.
