Hello,
I write children’s books, poetry, and song lyrics. I am looking for an agent to represent me and my work, since many publishers only accept submissions from agents. If you are acquiring new clients at this time please contact me. Looking forward to hearing back from you, thank you.

The teachers are as naughty as the kids in Matt Butler’s poetry collection The Teachers Are In Trouble And Other Rhymes. The 41 poems are illustrated by David Jarvis, whose art perfectly suits the humorous rhymes, covering everything from homework and detention to school sport.

Hi Judith,

If you'd like to read some excerpts from my childrens book The Teachers Are In Trouble And Other Rhymes they can be found at the moment on my facebook group The Writings of Matt Butler. I’m self-publishing the book and I’m looking for an agent to work with on further projects as well as possibly bringing my current book to the attention of a bigger publisher.

Hope you like what you see if you have the time to drop by.


Regards,

Matt

I wish a fish was someone I knew
Then I could swim the ocean blue
If I could swim like fishes do
Then I would swim about with you
What fun we’d have my fish friend and I
Swimming about beneath the blue sky
Not a care in the world
As you can see
Swimming about my fish friend and me
We’d meet fishes friends
And eat fishes food
Now that would put me
In a good fishes mood
Playing fun fishes games
And learning new fishes names
Its all very different
Its not at all the same
We’d visit far off fish places
And see funny fish faces
They would make us feel right at home
And sleeping at night
There would be no time for fright
For we would never be left all alone
Some new things I learn
Like fish soccer and all
I’m not sure how well I may do
Swimming upside down
Dressed like a fish clown
How fun, its all so brand new
When you are a fish
You can swim far and wide
You can swim with the tide
You can swim up and down
You can swim round and round
You can swim here and there
You can swim anywhere
My fish time is over
I will never forget
My fish friend and all of our fun
He showed me new places
And friendly fish places
But my fish friend adventure is done.
