Alice Tait is a popular British author-illustrator whose work has graced book covers for Penguin, magazine spreads for Vogue, chocolate treats for Waitrose and party invites for Chanel, as well as children’s books for Walker Books and Puffin books.

This September Alice Tait is one of the faces of HSBC UK’s nationwide advertising campaign, ‘Big Support for Small Businesses’. We will be excited to see her face on billboards in Piccadilly Circus, across newspapers from The Guardian to The Times and popping up all over Meta and TikTok!

Alice also has her brand own gift range, ‘Alice Tait London’ is the number one bestselling London gift range across Britain, and is on sale in Tower bridge, Tower of London, Hampton Court, and WHS Airports among others.

Alice is delighted to be represented by Gill McLay at Bath Literary Agency as an author-illustrator in children’s publishing. Alice’s third picture book in her popular ‘No, Nancy, No!’ is out now in the UK and USA.

Outside of children’s books, Alice continues to make her mark on exciting high-profile projects, for Netflix’s The Crown, and Sunday Times number one bestsellers ‘The Last Hedgehog’ Pam Ayres, Picador, and ‘Hinch Yourself Happy’ Mrs. Hinch, Penguin Books.

Alice has been drawing for a living since 2002, and can usually be found in her garden studio, covered ink and pencil smudges while sketching away. A mother of two young and lively children, Alice loves nothing better than listening in on their conversations for use in an illustration later… and if that gets too chaotic Alice nips out with her sketchbook, for a spot of inspiration from the Georgian city of Bath where she lives.

Alice regularly updates on Instagram, so do check out @alice_tait_illustrates for behind the scene videos, peeks into her sketchbook and competitions!
