Heather Dyer is an award-winning children’s author and a consultant in creative thinking techniques. The Fish in Room 11 (Chicken House/Scholastic) won the Highland book awards in 2004; The Girl with the Broken Wing was featured as one of Richard and Judy’s ‘best children’s books ever’ in 2007, and The Boy in the Biscuit Tin was nominated for a Galaxy best British children’s book award in 2008. Heather’s books have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4, translated into several languages and studied in schools at key stage 2. Her doctorate explores the psychology of creativity, and she’s particularly interested in helping writers explore more creative and efficient ways of working: how to face the blank page fearlessly, build a project from the ground up, and stay motivated and inspired over the long term.
