Linda Newbery

When Linda Newbery was a teenager she secretly wrote her own stories and hid them in a wardrobe so they wouldn't be found. Writing was put on hold for a few years when Linda became a teacher, but at the age of 30 she set herself the challenge of finishing a book and getting it published. She now writes full-time and has produced books for all ages. She has won the Costa Children's Book Prize and h as twice been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, as well as for the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize.
