About

Laura James

Laura James's love of storytelling began at an early age and led her to undertake a degree in Film Studies at the University of Kent and an MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. Laura's debut novel Captain Pug, part of her Adventures of Pug series, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2017. She also writes about Fabio: The World’s Greatest Flamingo Detective and some dogs that start a newspaper in her new series News Hounds. Laura’s books are published by Bloomsbury and sell around the world. She lives in Dorset with her two wire-haired dachshunds, Brian and Florence.

Laura has been lucky enough to have her stories brought to life by some incredibly talented illustrators. You can check out their work here:

  • The Adventures of Pug series is illustrated by Églantine Ceulemans
  • The Fabio: The World’s Greatest Flamingo Detective series is illustrated by Emily Fox
  • The News Hounds series is illustrated by Charlie Alder
