I’m Jack Noel, an author/book-designer/illustrator. I live in London. I work mainly on books for kids.

As an author I love making funny books with loads of pictures. My agent is Claire Wilson at RCW.

As a designer I have worked in-house at Walker Books, Simon & Schuster and Andersen Press. Currently I am at Little Tiger.

In 1986 I won the Brighton Cooperative Beautiful Baby competition (picture proof at http://jacknoel.co.uk/about-contact/).
