OUR SPEAKERS  

VINCE CLEGHORNE

Author, Illustrator and Screenwriter.

“A children’s author should only be as silly as their middle and last names.” – Vince Adolphus Cleghorne (children’s author)

Vince spends his waking hours writing about animals that won’t be quiet, kids with huge hair, and very smelly witches. He’s been a film director, cartoonist, BBC playwright, screenwriter, and a ghost-writer. He has an unshakable ‘Go for it’ attitude and once landed in LA with very little cash, a huge suitcase, an animated screenplay and all of his fingers crossed. His claims to fame include buying Gandalf a whisky and attending the same school as a Beatle. He has written award-winning screenplays, novels, and children’s books, earning him praise from DreamWorks SKG, Richard Branson, and HRH the Prince of Wales. Vince is inspired by his son Kyle and his granddaughters Amber and Hollie and at present lives in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter, with two very spoilt cats and a wealth of possibilities.

Vince has sold more than 92,000 copies of his children's books in six months with no agent representation, though recently has been offered representation, he turned it down-  join us to find out why.
