Alice McKinley
She / her

Portfolio
Alice writes and illustrates children’s books in her studio at the bottom of the garden in Leamington Spa. She started her publishing career designing baby board books, pop up books, young fiction and picture books, working with brilliant companies such as Andersen Press, Little Tiger Press, Nobrow and Wonderbly.

In 2015, she quit designing books to chase her dreams of becoming an illustrator and graduated from the Cambridge School of Arts Children’s Picture book Illustration MA in 2018. Since then she has been busy working away doing what she loves most; drawing dogs and getting paid for colouring in!

Her first author-illustrated book Nine Lives Newton published with Simon & Schuster UK in 2020, followed by The Dodos Did It! in 2021.

Other clients include Hachette Children's Books, Hodder, Barrington Stoke, Affirm Press, Alison Green, The Art File and John Lewis.
