👋 Hello Bologna friends!
Here’s a handy dandy one-stop shop for my bio & a few open manuscripts. Make yourself at home!
I’m an emerging author, AI design researcher at Canva and PhD candidate studying child-centric AI. I’ve published an award winning STEM book on Kickstarter that was stocked AUS wide (DIARY OF AN ASTRONAUT), and have traditionally published THIS BOOK IS A TOY (a playful board book: via Five Mile).
Below is a sample of my newest works! If any of these manuscripts tickle your interest (yay!) then please pop me an email at annabel@annabelblake.com
If Middle grade is your flavour, my ‘black mirror for kids’ manuscript, DREAMWEAVER is available via email.
The Goo
A story about a talking, intelligent goo that knows everything about all the wrong things. A playful lesson on the limits and possibilities of artificial intelligence.
The Goo is currently on submission; please email to see the manuscript!
Book and Bot
An experimental book inspired by my research into child-centric AI. This is a traditional novel about a girl who invents a robot goat, paired with conversational robot goat chatbot. Give it a whirl!
Kirra and the Travelling Treehouse
A gentle tale of a treehouse that walks, anger that bubbles in your belly and the comfort of cuddles over cheesy pizza. Explores themes of neurodiversity and emotional intelligence.
