Ana Ventura

Ana Ventura, nasceu em Copenhaga mas com seis anos já era alfacinha de gema.

Formou-se em artes e trabalhou alguns anos como designer de interiores. No entanto, o apelo pela escrita sempre foi grande e é quando inicia a elaboração de conteúdos criativos para publicidade em 2003, que puxa o fio desses novelos encantados que habitam o mundo invisível e começa a escrever para a infância. Desde então os seus contos motivam a publicação de álbuns ilustrados e também a profissão que a faz feliz (como sempre acontece quando nos demoramos onde está o que nos diz respeito) pelo que atualmente produz e realiza encenações com base nos seus livros, cruzando a literatura, a performance e a arte visual. A intenção principal da sua atividade é a de contrib

José Saramago

José de Sousa Saramago (16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010) was a Portuguese novelist and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature, for his "parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony [with which he] continually enables us once again to apprehend an elusory reality." His works, some of which have been seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today."

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.
