Her iF Poems app was launched to great acclaim and was the Apple Editors' Choice All Time Favourite app. Her books include iF: A Treasury of Poems for Almost Every Possibility and The Love Book. Her poetry compilations A Poem for Every Day of the Year and A Poem for Every Night of the Year were best books of the year in The Times, The New Statesman and The Observer.

Zanna Goldhawk creates her illustrations from her seaside cottage in Cornwall. She takes huge inspiration from nature and animals, and has a mild obsession with colour and pattern (and coffee).

Now she splits her time between designing beautiful products and illustrating gorgeous books.
