NibWeb is the Network for Information Book Writers and Editors

Authors and editors of non-fiction books for children

Penny Johnson

I was first an engineer, then went into teaching secondary science. From there I went into educational publishing, commissioning and editing science courses for schools, and now I am a full time writer.

I have co-written a number of science courses for use in schools, and also written books for KS1 and KS2 that are sold through W H Smith and other retail outlets.

My main areas of interest are Earth Sciences and Physics, but I can write about any of the sciences in all age ranges.
