Emma Beswetherick
Emma Beswetherick is the mother of two young children and wanted to write exciting, inspirational and enabling adventure stories to share with them. She is now the acclaimed author of The Playdate Adventure series aimed at 5-8 year olds, with five novels published to date, each with a strong emphasis on saving the planet.

She has a particular interest in structural editing and, since joining Curtis Brown Creative as a tutor, has given much valued feedback to our creative writing students. For the last year, Emma has also been Writer in Residence at Radnor House School in Twickenham, holding regular creative writing sessions with junior school pupils. Emma can regularly be found holding workshops at primary schools across the country, as well as appearing at library events and literary festivals.
