Describe your style
Action-packed and full of comedy
How did you get started?
We answered a call for submissions from Epigram for a children's book series on a boy who travels back into Singapore's past. The rest is history, literally!
Where do you get story ideas?
Because there are two of us, we bounce ideas off each other and find that together, our ideas are usually wackier than our individual ones.
Pick one book of yours that kids should read
#4 Danger Dan and Gadget Girl: The Zany Zombie-fest.
Because zombies. And Haw Par Villa. But mostly zombies.
Tip for parents, how to help kids enjoy reading
Let your kids read what they enjoy. Don't impose your own preferences or try to make them advance in their reading too quickly. Reading should be fun, not work.
Tip for aspiring kidlit writers
To be authentic in your writing, talk to kids and really discover how they talk and think. They're usually funnier and more complex than you imagine!
Your big wish for kidlit publishing next year (2020)?
We hope to see more emerging young writers. If coming up with brand new ideas and characters is too challenging, they can write spinoffs of their favourite series. It's fan fic brought to the next level.
