Winsome Duncan

Meet our Number 1 Bestselling Author & Publisher Winsome Duncan.

Winsome Duncan has more than 15 years of experience in the book publishing industry and is one woman with a HUGE vision of getting her wider community writing books. As an author of 16 books, which includes her recent Amazon number 1 smash hit, 'The Popcorn House', Winsome works tirelessly with budding Authors and Entrepreneurs to help them realise their book-writing dreams. She is the CEO of publishing house, 'Peaches Publications' and not-for-profit social enterprise, the 'Look Like Me Book Challenge', which has a particular focus on stories and voices from the Black community, including  children age 7 – 18 years old. 
​
‘Look Like Me Book Challenge’ represents a ground-breaking campaign, which was borne from a project supporting 30 Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic (BAME) children to write one collective community book. Since the Guardian newspaper published that a mere 5% of BAME main characters are in children's books within the UK, compared to 33.5% of BAME school children in education, Winsome has been on a tireless quest for change. Indeed, this is compounded by the shocking fact that inanimate objects are more likely to feature in children’s books than black or brown faces! 
​
Winsome is passionate about changing this narrative and began fund-raising on her birthday weekend of October 2019, for £50,000 to help raise awareness and educate others about the importance of having equal visual representation for multicultural children from diverse heritage.
