Layla Oates
writer & illustrator
Layla Oates
is an illustrator based in the UK
I have a degree in Art History from the University of Cambridge, and have trained as a museum curator and a primary school teacher. Ultimately, I am only happy when creating things so, I ran a craft dollmaking business for eight years but now work full time on writing/illustrating projects.
I am a member of SCWBI (UK).

Writing Projects
I have written a chapter book about girl's football, an MG fantasy about Selkies and a YA murder mystery but these are all out on submission.
I am currently looking for a literary agent.
