Adriana Mather

Adriana writes, I was born in New York on Long Island, and even though I don’t have a New York accent I have a deep love for coffee, public transportation and fast-paced everything. I went to Vassar College and studied religion and biology, which brought me to the Himalayas in India for a year where I lived with Tibetan monks and nuns. When I graduated, I moved to Los Angeles, California and started making movies. I started writing for fun. And when I got 100 pages in, I thought “Ima do this thing and write a book.” I got a fair amount of laughs for that, which only brought me to the conclusion that I was not only going to write it, but I was also going to sell it.

Kelly McCaughrain

Kelly McCaughrain's debut novel, Flying Tips for Flightless Birds, won an unprecedented hat-trick of awards at the 2019 Children's Books Ireland Awards, including Book of the Year, as well as the Northern Ireland Book Award. Kelly was the Children’s Writing Fellow for Northern Ireland 2019-2021 and she works at Belfast Met College as educational support for young adults with special needs. She says: “I get my best ideas from observing teens. I love their high ideals and natural barometer for injustice. I always want to write things that are worthy of their huge capacity to scrutinise the world and their place in it.” When she isn’t writing, she likes to travel with her 1967 classic campervan, Gerda, and her 1977 classic husband.
