Jacqueline Wilson Career

When Wilson began to focus on writing, she completed several crime fiction novels before dedicating herself to children's books. At the age of 40, she took A-level English and earned a grade A. She had mixed success with about 40 books before the breakthrough to fame in 1991 with The Story of Tracy Beaker, published by Doubleday.

As her children's novels frequently feature themes of adoption, divorce and mental illness, they tend to attract controversy, yet are well loved by children and adults alike.

In June 2013, Wilson was appointed a professorial fellow of the University of Roehampton, and a Pro-Chancellor. In February 2014, it was announced that she would be appointed Chancellor of the university (its honorary figurehead) from August 2014. She was reappointed in 2017 for a further three years. She teaches modules in both the Children's Literature and Creative Writing master's degree (MA) programmes offered by the university. She concluded her term as Chancellor in August 2020.

Wilson is patron of the charity Momentum in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, which helps Surrey children undergoing treatment for cancer (and their families), and also a patron of the Letterbox Club, a BookTrust initiative. Until she moved away from Kingston-upon-Thames she was a patron of the Friends of Richmond Park.

Art-lovers question why painting of controversial pop star Sam Smith naked except for a toga, wearing wings and playing a harp will be displayed in the National Portrait Gallery

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 31, 2024
Brits have been left baffled after Sam Smith announced they are lending a portrait depicting them as a shirtless angel to the National Portrait Gallery. The painting will be hung in the History Makers section, which currently displays portraits of controversial campaigner Peter Tatchell, singer Ed Sheeran, tennis star Andy Murray and children's author Jacqueline Wilson. The portrait, which has never been publicly displayed, was created by the French duo Pierre et Gilles and is entitled 'Gloria' - after the performer's 2023 song.
