Who is Jonny Walker?

I write and I teach, and I eat cake.

I create stories for kids that blend serious and silly. Mythology, poetry, nature and food are my interests. Laughter unlocks minds. We all need a bit of whimsy.

I write early reading books that kids will truly want to read.

I especially like to write stuff that gets them thinking deeply, and a particular niche is writing early reader texts for 7-11 year olds, and 11-14 year olds.

My books have been published with HarperCollins and Oxford University Press.

I am available to work freelance as an education consultant on media projects: scriptwriting, learning resources, presenting and teaching. I have 13 years of experience teaching, and continue to do this alongside my writing.

My teaching is innovative, creative and irreverent - we explore mythology, creative writing, poetry, nature and music.
