Alex Wharton

I'm a writer, poet and author. I'm also the Children's Laureate of wales 2023 -2025. I hope to inspire a positive connection to literature by sharing my own work and encouraging others to explore creative writing for themselves.

I visit schools, libraries and festivals throughout the UK, and this has helped me develop workshops that are enjoyable and accessible.

I believe literature and language has the ability to improve our lives. And I'm excited to be an associate artist for this exciting creative challenge.
