Sanchita is the owner of the bookshop and can often be found with her nose buried in the poetry section. She is also to partial to historical fiction, mysteries, beautiful picture books, and a good old-fashioned fantasy. And everything else, actually. She's a lost cause. 
She is a judge for the inaugural Children's Booker Prize (2026), sits on the Children's Laureate Panel, works with numerous children's festivals, charities and organisations, and was elected an Honorary Fellow at the Royal Society of Literature in 2024.
