Becca Perl is a copywriter, food writer, author and illustrator. She won her first creative writing competition at the tender age of 7 with a lively tale about a runner bean family. A stint at art college only served to put her off art, so she went on to study English at university. Her career in journalism started in Munich where she lived for five years. Becca graduated with a Master’s degree in Creative Writing in 2012, and the story she was attempting to write at the time was her family's escape story. Now, a mere 12 years later, she has done it with her debut kids' picture book, 'Don't Look Back'. Becca rediscovered a love of drawing during lockdown and has been happily illustrating ever since. She lives with her family in Christchurch, Dorset.
