About Me

Louise Nettleton
I am a children's book blogger and aspiring middle-grade author. In 2019 I was picked for the Write Mentor summer mentoring programme. In the same year I was awarded a six-month bursary by Writer's HQ to access their online content. BookMurmuration is a place to discover the latest children's books and to learn about their themes as well as their plot lines. Books are more than cover deep.
