Our interest in books comes originally from Diana, who is a children's author with more than 30 books published so far. Steve is the technical half of the partnership. His many years experience in the computer industry have given him a confidence and expertise which is invaluable in tackling web based projects, especially one as complex as this. Together we make a good team whose different skills combine well.

We have been creating and running book related websites since 1999 and have built sites for many writers. The idea for contactanauthor.co.uk came because we were frequently contacted by people trying to find an author to give a talk, run a workshop or ghost a book. We hope you will find it useful.
