Thalia S.A., author of Mermaid Lagoon, visited a library where Incy and others listened to her speak about how she came to be a published author. She published her book Mermaid Lagoon aged just 10. Thalia was born in Manchester and now lives in Warwickshire. She was recently shortlisted for the Warwickshire Young Poet Laureate 24/25.
Thalia held a book signing afterwards. Incy met Thalia’s lovely family who all support Thalia in her writing career, assisting her at author events such as this one.
The library held crafting events, giving visitors the chance to decorate canvas bags that they could keep.
It was inspiring for Incy to meet another young writer. Incy says she would love to grow up and be a published author like Thalia.
