An Interview with Dan Smith

The Letterpress Project has asked authors and illustrators to think about what has inspired them as artists, what their favourite books are and how they relate to their audience - we've also asked them if they themselves are book collectors.

We are delighted to present an exclusive interview with author, Dan Smith. Dan is the award-winning and bestselling author of books for both children and adults. His children’s titles, which include My Friend the Enemy, Boy X and She Wolf have won him numerous accolades including the Coventry Inspiration Book Award, the Essex Book Award, and nominations for the Brandford Boase Award and the Young Quills Award. Dan lives in Newcastle with his family.
