  Eiichiro Oda

  Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎, Oda Eiichirō) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece.
  
  As a child, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's works and aspired to become a manga artist. He recalls that his interest in pirates was probably sparked by the popular TV animation series titled Vicky the Viking. He submitted a character named Pandaman for Yudetamago's classic wrestling manga Kinnikuman. Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

  Harriet Evans

  I was born in London and grew up there. I was very bookish, and had a huge imagination which used to cause me to get rather anxious at times. Now I know it's a good thing for a writer to have. I loved musicals, and playing imaginative games, and my Barbie perfume making kit. Most of all I loved reading. I read everything, but I also read lots of things over and over, which I think is so important.
  
  At university I read Classical Studies, which is a great way of finding out that the world doesn't change much and people make the same mistakes but it's interesting to look at why. I was at Bristol, and i loved the city, making new friends, being a new person.
  
  After university I came back to London and got a job in publishing. I loved working in p

  Tom Percival

  Tom Percival writes and illustrates picture books (you know, for kids) as well as illustrating books written by other people. The most well known of these is probably the excellent Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy.
  
  He grew up in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire. On reflection this seemed rather more remote than beautiful, owing to the fact that he lived in a small caravan without electricity, mains water or any sensible form of heating. He thinks that he’s probably one of the few people in his peer group to have learnt to read by gas lamp.
  Surprisingly enough he has never been called ‘hippy’ (to the best of his knowledge)
  
  Tom now lives in an actual house with his girlfriend and their two young sons.

  Maria Kuutti

  Olen syntynyt 1980 ja elänyt suurimman osan elämästäni Kangasniemellä. Lapsuuteni asuin kyläkoulua vastapäätä ja tiesin kuulemma jo ekaluokkalaisena haluavani opettajaksi. Myös kirjoitusinto näkyi pienenä, sillä alaluokan opettajani kutsui minua runotytöksi. Äitini työskenteli pitkään kirjastovirkailijana, joten kirjat ovat kuuluneet aina merkittävänä osana elämääni.
  
  Lukion jälkeen halusin opiskella kirjoittamista ja kirjallisuutta. Pääsin Helsingin yliopistoon ja opiskelin siellä yleistä kirjallisuustiedettä. Veri veti kuitenkin takaisin Kangasniemelle, joten viimeistelin maisterinopintoni Jyväskylässä. Minusta tuli äidinkielenopettaja vuonna 2005.
  
  Kirjojen lisäksi toinen intohimoni on kuntoilu. Voin kertoa, että liikunta kannattaa aina, si
