Let’s Create Something Wonderful Together
I’m Lisa Bentley — a UK-based children’s illustrator and author represented by Bradford Literary Agency. My picture books have been published internationally with Simon & Schuster (US). I’m also currently working with Gnome Road (UK). My work has been praised for its warmth, imagination, and emotional storytelling.
Alongside authoring my own books, I love bringing other people’s stories and ideas to life. If you’re looking for an illustrator who can capture heart, humour, and character, you’re in the right place.
