Cristy Burne, winner of the 2009 Frances Lincoln Diverse Voices Children’s Book Award, has set up a blog to track the progress of her novel Takeshita Demons from winning the award through to publication. She is running a series of blog posts featuring a questionnaire completed by each of the people on the shortlist – check out the first one, Folake Idowu of Nigeria, who wrote the intriguing-sounding Gbenga and the Reticent Chromosome, and who also has a blog… These interviews will be well worth following – voices of new writers from across the world!
