Emily Fellah

Author, Illustrator and Workshop Facilitator

Children's author/illustrator and workshop facilitator

I love to engage children with reading, writing and drawing through my books and workshops. I created the ‘I Can Draw’ series of step-by-step drawing books featuring characters based on simple shapes, published by Quarto.

I run popular comics and illustration workshops for schools, SEND settings and other organisations in London and beyond, including ACS International Schools, Discover Children’s Story Centre and the Sharjah International Book Fair.

I’m an Artsmark Partner which means I’ve completed training and designed workshops and CPD resources to support schools in achieving their Artsmark status. I’m an Arts Award Supporter which means I deliver workshops which form part of children’s Arts Award journey. I’m also trained to deliver the Discover and Explore levels of the Arts Award.

Please contact me through my website for writing, illustration and children's workshops.


My comics and picture book workshops have the power to engage pupils with writing, character creation and drawing, and can be designed to tie in with curriculum topics of your choice.

  • Age range Early Years – KS5
  • Suitable for schools, SEND settings and other arts & cultural settings.
  • London and the surrounding areas.

Please follow the link to my website to learn about my workshops in a two-minute video, and for free teaching resources.

Choose from comics or picture book workshops with optional curriculum themes such as heroes and villains, myths and legends or the Stone Age. I also provide sessions for World Book Day and literacy and arts weeks, and I can support your school's Artsmark journey.

In a typical session I show the group my books and demonstrate how I create characters. I introduce them to some inspiring illustrated fiction then teach them to draw a character step-by-step. I take the group through the fundamentals of character creation, then support them in creating original characters and either comic strips or picture book plans.

Please contact me with your booking query for more information and pricing. A discounted rate is available for full day bookings, which can include an assembly and workshops with different year groups and topics. I include printable resources such as planning and evaluation sheets for pupils, comic templates and guidance notes for teachers. I am on the DBS update service and I have Public Liability Insurance.
