One minute with Rebecca McRitchie

June 19th, 2014
Rebecca McRitchie would love to tell you that she was raised by wolves in the depths of a snow laden forest until she stumbled upon and saved a village from the fiery peril of a disgruntled dragon. But, truthfully, she can be found clutching several books, lurking in the aisle of a bookstore or staring most resolutely at the blinking cursor on her computer screen. Edward and the Great Discovery is her first book.



Before I was an author ... I was a university student and part-time editor.

When I am not writing I ... like to read many books and watch many movies.

My favourite place to write is... outside in the sun.

When my publisher accepted my first picture book, Edward and the Great Discovery, I... was positively thrilled. Picture books are surprisingly difficult things to get right.

Edward and the Great Discovery is about ... a young boy who aspires to be an archaeologist. He longs to discover something, anything! Then one rainy night, he does just that. He doesn’t discover gold or jewels. In fact, Edward’s great discovery isn’t what he expected at all!
