Hello! I’m Aaron, the #covmerch guy and owner of Etch & Pin!
What started with a #itsabatch pin badge has, in the nearly-four years since, grown to playing card games, children’s books, sticker books and art prints!
Take a look at our full range over at etchandpin.co.uk

Just sent off the sample print after finishing my next book!!
Months and months in the making, it is perhaps my favourite so far. Think young people are really going to like it.
A proper celebration of our city!
I can’t share too much at this stage but…

Along the way, we’ve donated 11,000 copies to schools so that Coventry children can learn about the place they call home.
What started as one book has now become a collection of 11 titles, designed to make local history fun, accessible and something children can be proud of.

Over the last few years, we’ve published a growing series of children’s books covering everything from Lady Godiva and the Coventry Blitz to 2 Tone, James Starley, Coventry sporting heroes and the incredible people who have shaped our city.

People often ask me why I keep creating books about Coventry.
The answer is simple. Every city has stories worth telling, and Coventry has some of the best.

A closer look at the details on my new 1987 FA Cup bus badge - probably the most detailed badge I’ve produced so far!
Honestly overwhelmed by the response since yesterday’s release. Thank you to everyone who has ordered, shared or commented - it genuinely means a lot.

Japan 🤝 Coventry!
The biggest pleasure to meet up with @ccfc1987 and his wife whilst we are in Osaka! 🇯🇵
The most fun evening hearing about how Kazu first became a @Coventry_City fan in the 90s after being a student at Henley College!

I had the chance to talk about becoming an author, building a creative career, and why being from Coventry has been such a big part of what I do.
We also heard from former @Coventry_City player Dave Busst, who spoke about his playing career and the importance of resilience!

I was honoured to be invited to Gosford Park Primary School to cut the ribbon on their new library today! An amazing new learning space which puts reading at the heart of the school!

Another year of being judges of the @CoventryBS Young Writer of Year done!
My fifth, Oscar’s fourth! We read hundreds and hundreds of stories submitted by our city’s brightest young writers and the ceremony tonight saw the winners crowned!
Always a pleasure, never a chore!

A fun World Book Day talk at Spon Gate Primary School.
Was really cool to see how their temporary school has come together whilst the main school is being redeveloped! A pre-built classroom dropped in from the sky by a crane!!

A fantastic way to start what has become the busiest week of the year for me; World Book Day week!
After Saturday’s game, I’ve almost totally lost my voice so I was thankful to have a microphone!!
Another eight school talks plus the Young Writer of the Year competition ahead!
