We’ve had another fantastic review from regular Maverick reviewer – Laura who writes at the blog Yummy Mummy Flabby Tummy. These Early Readers are a great addition to the Maverick Book collection and I love that they aren’t brand new stories but ones that Miss C is familiar with. I felt that they boosted her confidence when she was reading them because we had read the picture books before. We’re… Read More »Another great review for our Early Readers

Last Thursday we had a rather lovely time at the Maverick studio. We invited some of our authors to the studio to have an ideas session on how to best run events and increase the visibility of our books. Usually we only get to see our authors once a year (and even then it’s only one-to-one) so it was lovely to see not just one, but six of our authors… Read More »Maverick author day
