Chris McGuire
Children’s Author & Writer
I write books for children who love big adventures, ridiculous villains and a healthy helping of nonsense.
I’m the author of the Crooks and Nannies series, where the extraordinary is perfectly ordinary and trouble is never far away.
When I’m not dreaming up new ways to cause fictional chaos, I work as a professional writer, drawing on years of experience in television, publishing and journalism.

School Visits & Author Events
I love bringing stories to life and encouraging children to discover the fun of reading and writing.
My lively, interactive author sessions are designed for Key Stage 2 pupils (Years 3–6), combining storytelling, ridiculous villains, creative thinking and plenty of laughs.
Whether it’s a school visit, library event or book signing, my aim is simple: to show children that books can be brilliant fun — and that everyone has a story worth telling.
