NORTHERN HIGHLIGHTS  Louise Corcoran    Where are you based, and how would you sum up the place in three words? I’m based in Manchester. It’s lively & unexpectedly green.   What is special to you about working with children's books, and what is your favourite thing about it? I think they both come down to the range/diversity in children's books. I love working with everything from board books to young adult fiction via illustrated non-fiction and graphic novels.   Tell us about the most recent books you've promoted How to Be True by Daisy May Johnson. It's the sequel to How to Be Brave , and is middle grade fiction set in a school run by nuns, The Good Sisters. There are lots of book references, mentions of cake, and pun-heavy footnotes. I love it.   If you could be transported to anywhere in the North/Scotland right now, where would it be? Saltburn-by-the Sea. It's a small coastal town in North Yorkshire which has a Victorian pier and funicular cliff lift.   W
