I always always have made up stories, some have been written down, some have been played out with friends and family as childhood games others acted out with action figures and toys (Lego was always a favourite!) For a while I quite fancied being a puppeteer! I don’t think I necessarily saw a difference between those things – they were (and are) forms of storytelling. I’m not sure I can pinpoint the exact time and place though. Oh, that’s a good question – and a slightly tough one as well. But how did you get your start in writing? So, what are we waiting for? James, take it away! On your website you say that as a kid, you struggled to get your start in reading. I am so excited to feature James today, and learn more about his writing life. The book follows Arianwyn, a young witch who fluffs up her magical assessment and is sent to the dreary town of Lull (much to the pleasure of her arch rival, Gimma.) But, the town is not all that it seems, and it’s up to the apprentice witch to save the day from magical portals, dark forests and more! James released his first book, The Apprentice Witch, with Chicken House publishing in July 2016. Today, I am proud to feature the fabulous children’s author, James Nicol! Magic is in the air on Why Words Work! Get your broomsticks ready, people.
