About

Lucy Dillamore, Lincolnshire Children's Book Illustrator and Author

Hello there! I’m an children’s illustrator / author living in Lincolnshire, UK.

My debut picture book ‘Nipper and the Lunchbox’ (Child’s Play) was published in the UK, USA and Australia in 2018. The book also has three co-editions (danish, dutch and turkish) and features in the 2018 Peters’ calendar. In 2019 it was nominated for the ‘Read it Again!’ award, Cambridgeshire Libraries’ children’s picture book award and more recently won aNorthern Lights Book Award (an award honoring children’s literature of exceptional merit) in the ‘Animals / Pets’ category.

In 2014 I achieved a first class degree in Ba(Hons) Illustration at Norwich University of the Arts before completing an MA in Children’s Book Illustration course at Cambridge School of Art in 2017. I also run my own Etsy store.

I am represented by Caroline Walsh at David Higham Associates
