Hoots from the Books
A newsletter for feathered friends
Welcome to "Hoots from the Books," your monthly whisper from the world of pages and tales!
Why the owl?
Well, it's not just any owl—it’s a barn owl, my sort of spirit animal. I've sadly discovered they might not be the brainiest birds (funny, right? They're always portrayed as the wise ones in stories!), but their smooth flight and fierce yet cuddly look have a certain no-nonsense charm, much like this newsletter.
Here, we dive straight into the world of books, delivering from sneak peeks to behind-the-scenes updates to book advice and writerly wisdom, right to your inbox. If you like your literary news delivered without fluff, sign up and join the flock.
Receive your PDF guide to pagination!
Are you crafting tales for tiny readers? Tick the box saying you're a children's book author when you sign up, and snag the guide I've created on perfecting your book's pagination. It's my way of helping your pages turn as smoothly as your stories unfold.
I'm Stella, a passionate storyteller and illustrator, with a background in Greek and Roman literature and a few years now of experience crafting stories through words and images.
My work spans over 40 books, that I've either illustrated, designed, or both, always aiming to captivate and inspire.
I believe in the power of stories to connect us, and I love to help authors (and then their readers) find their own voices and visions within the pages of their favourite tales.
