About me
Hello! 👋
I’m Melanie Williamson, an award-winning children’s book illustrator and mural artist.
With over 25-years’ experience I have over 50 published books in several languages to my name, including the Pirate Pete’s Potty and Billy and the Mini Monsters, which for two years running was selected for the Reading Agency’s Summer Reading Challenge, and nominated for the 2019 Sheffield Children’s Book Award.
Publishing clients include: Barefoot Books, Cambridge University Press, Harper Collins, Hodder Children's, Egmont, Ladybird Books, Oxford University Press, Pearson Education and Usborne Publishing.
For Books, I’m represented by the lovely Heather Richards at Tall Bean.
I also sell t-shirts and art prints of my characters via Flapping Frank, my ethical clothing shop…all 100% vegan-friendly, printed-to-order using renewable energy, and shipped in plastic-free packaging.
“Melanie is a fantastic illustrator. She brings huge amounts of humour to each project and so much life to the characters. I love her Mini Monsters!”
Zanna Davidson, author of Billy and the Mini Monsters
