Hello and welcome to Momo’s Doodle Den!
I’m Momoko (and surname is Abe, pronounced as “Ah-beh”), but all my friends call me Momo. I am from Japan but I moved to the UK forever ago (actually 20+ years ago). I’m a London-based children’s book author-illustrator who has been making children’s books professionally since 2018. Read more about me here.
This is a newsletter from my doodle den (aka my little desk in my little flat I share with my cat, Clementine).
Doodle Life is my monthly free newsletter where I share what I have been up to, and my ups and downs of being a children’s book author-illustrator, and some recommendations for books, exhibitions, events etc.
I also occasionally post random newsletters such as Influenced (my influence and inspirations) and Making of (behind the scenes of my books). These will be free for a week, then be archived only for paid subscribers.
I offer a paid subscription, where you immediately get access to my back catalogue of paid posts and get to submit questions for Q&A posts.
