An Interview with Marcus Sedgwick
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 the renowned author, Marcus Sedgwick, Marcus is the bestselling author of over 40 books for adults and young people, including Midwinterblood and The Monsters We Deserve.
He has won multiple prestigious awards, including the Michael L. Printz Award, the Branford-Boase Award, the BookTrust Teenage Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award, and has been shortlisted for over 40 others, including the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize.
