Jamie-Lee Turner

Hi! I’m Jamie, a reader, collector, artist, and general bookworm. I’ve always been a reader and an artist, but I never thought I could pair the two until university, where I studied Illustration and Graphic Design.

After graduating, I got a book lover’s dream job and became a bookseller, and most of my days are spent talking to other readers and adventuring through fictional worlds for escapism. I’m a huge fan of sci-fi and fantasy, YA, MG and Graphic Novels, but I’ll never say no to a good book, whatever the genre!

But it wasn’t until I read Vicious by V.E Schwab - which is still, to this day, my all-time favourite book - that I put my love of art and fiction together to create the Victor Vale enamel pin, my first ever bookish pin and what soon became the beginning of a creative adventure I had never anticipated as part of LitPins&Co.

Since then I've done several kickstarters and collaborations with some of my favourite authors and I'd love to improve my skills to hopefully make this my full time gig!
