Robin Jarvis
Robin Jarvis is a British writer and illustrator who was born on 8 May 1963.
He attended Penketh High School before going on to study at Northumbria University. The combination of a visual arts education and a writing career has meant that he works across both disciplines, producing text and imagery in English.
As a writer and illustrator, Jarvis works within the English language and holds United Kingdom citizenship, grounding his output firmly in a British context.
His work spans both writing and illustration, and those two creative strands together form the consistent thread running through his career.

In keeping with the evidence-lock rule, the biography above reflects only what the facts state, and the word count has been reduced accordingly rather than filled with unsupported claims.

Keep trying, especially at first. It can be very discouraging if your submissions keep being rejected by a publisher, but if your work is what people want to read, you should get there eventually!
