About Us
Rebecca Watkins -Producer
Rebecca Watkins, the visionary founder of the Literature Laboratory, has always been a devoted lover of stories, and the power of the imagination and journalling.
With a background in healthcare and business and a heart filled with passion for children’s literature, she set out to create a haven where curiosity and creativity could flourish whilst improving positive wellbeing and resilience in young people.
Driven by the belief that every child deserves access to a world of imagination and discovery, Rebecca partners with schools to ensure books are chosen by children for children. Rebecca believes that 'Books Are Medicine' and that if we read well, and live well, then we can all be well. Rebecca’s son, Noah is a core part of the business as Chief Creative Officer.

The Team
Emanation Smith
I am an artist and maker with a background in Complementary Therapies, Adult Education and Home Education.
​
As a home educator I facilitated the autonomous learning and self-directed education of my daughter for 16 years. My main role was leading by example as a life-long learner, preserving the love of learning, and seeking out the most interesting and enjoyable resources that suited her learning style and pace. She was an early reader, so books, books and more books led her to her natural talents and interests.

It is a joy to work in a bookshop focused on the happiness and well-being of children and their parents.
