Laura Mucha
Laura Mucha is an ex-lawyer turned poet and author. Her writing has won multiple international awards and been featured on TV, radio and public transport, as well as in hospitals, hospices, prisons, books, magazines and newspapers around the world. She is also Author-in-Residence in the Department of Public Health & Primary Care, University of Cambridge.
Her children’s books have been described as ‘stunningly original’ by BookTrust, ‘fantastic’ by the Daily Mail and ‘a must have for every school’ by The School Librarian. Laura also writes for adults, and her debut book Love Factually / We Need to Talk About Love was described by Richard Curtis as ‘much better and more useful than my film’.
When not writing, Laura spends her time visiting schools around the world and working with organisations such as the National Literacy Trust, Royal Society of Medicine and UNICEF to try to improve the lives of children.
