AIM Children's Literary Festival London We are going virtual this year!

Welcome to Aim children's literary festival

Children's book publisher, Author In Me, is bringing to you the first-of-its kind children’s virtual literary festival where authors as young as nine-years-old will launch their books .

Because we believe that every child should be given an opportunity to experience the magic of tales and share their unique ideas, we are bringing some of the world famous authors and young budding authors together to discuss their insights and viewpoints.

Amongst many renowned authors who are attending this literary event, we have a 13- year- old, young author and poet, Anoushka Sabnis as a speaker. She is the author and illustrator of her collection of 52 poems (Once Upon A Verse - because poems tell stories). She published her first book at the age of 10 years and is a Global Goodwill Ambassador. Anoushka created a world record for being the youngest poet (female) to publish a poetry book internationally. She has spoken at various platforms including the Jaipur Literature Festival. Anoushka was the youngest Speaker at the Jaipur Literature Festival 2019.

The festival aims to celebrate the legacy of books, the importance of storytelling and inspire the young generation to explore their imagination and find their unique stories to be shared with the rest of the world.
