Cara Matheson

Cara is a children's writer and former magazine journalist. She loves writing funny picture books, with a touch of the absurd. Two of her stories have been shortlisted for the WriteMentor Awards.

She lives in Greenwich, London, with her husband, daughters and registered therapy cockapoo, Scout (with whom she volunteers in schools as part of the Read2Dogs scheme).

Cara's debut picture book - about a family dog with hidden talents - will be published in spring 2023.
