To quote The Mail on Sunday, “In so far as someone from the book-cover world can be a celebrity, Coralie is a total A-lister!” Join us to hear how Coralie got into the world of book covers, how she produces her stunning designs, and what else she’s up to – not least writing and illustrating her own children’s books.
