John D Slater

Writing children's stories is something John has done since he was a child himself. He would enact them using the puppets he made out of papier mache. Both his father and grandfather were storytellers so it was a natural progression.

John's stories have been used by The Bijou Theatre Company for many thousands of performances in UK primary schools.

John won fourth prize in the FANTASTIC SHORT CHILDREN'S FICTION COMPETITION 2013 with his excellent story 'Natasha's Magic Clock'.
