Mark is a lifelong lover of language. He published his first book, Lipsmacking Backpacking while he was training to be a lawyer. He left the law for the creative sector and devised the award winning BBC TV drama Garrow's Law and served as Story Editor over its four series. Since then, Mark has built up 15 years' experience in communication, branding and storytelling, including as Creative Director of a busy London ad agency, writing episodes for the Daytime Emmy winning Tales of Peter Rabbit and sitting on the Executive Committee of the Children's Media Foundation. He is represented by the BKS Agency and his first children’s book ‘Crab and Whale’ has been translated into five languages, and his book 'How to have a mindful pregnancy' was hailed as a 'handbag sized wonder" by a review in the November 2019 British Journal of Midwifery.
