Anjali Mittal, a graduate from the University of York is a mother of two who understands how important it is for children to read.
The author of
'The Convent Rules',
an adventure story for children, has a diverse international background. The different
cultures and environments has given her an extraordinary insight into all walks of life and these experiences are reflected
in the characters and setting for her stories. Having attended a boarding school herself from an early age has provided the
author with the opportunity to amuse the readers with some tales of real life experiences that have been challenging,
full of incident but not without their trials and tribulations. The author believes in encouraging children to read by
making books stimulating and different to their day to day lives so that they get fully immersed into the fictitious fantasy.
Short-listed for the 2009 'Write a story for children' competition. Comment from judges of The Academy of Children's writers

would-be children's writer. This, together with your 'way of words' indicates a natural talent.'
