My love of stories began at school, escaping boring lessons through books and wild adventures of my own invention. Growing up in rural Worcestershire fuelled my imagination, surrounded by animals and an abandoned stately home. After many years teaching and writing plays, I studied the MA Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. Now based in the West Country, I divide my time between teaching, writing, and retreating to my small house in France, still dreaming of one day playing Prospero at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford upon Avon. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-miranda-barlow monthly 0.5 2026-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/43705d59-48a6-4411-b84e-f1e092b618b6/MirandaBarlowHeadshot.jpg Blog - Introducing… Miranda Barlow - Today we meet Miranda Barlow! I am a neurodivergent writer and illustrator. My debut novel The Little Cottage at World’s End is a middle-grade magical adventure that delves into the mysteries of life and loss. It grew from a fascination with fate, ancient myths and the hidden magic in ordinary places. I live in Devon with my family and our diva cockapoo, Jess. In my free time, I love to read, walk and play the clarinet. With a Creative Writing degree and an MA in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University, this is the story I wish I’d read as a child — a dark, haunting adventure that not only brings hope, but leaves you a little bit different than before. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-megan-wheeler monthly 0.5 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/7e53e14a-d57f-422e-91d4-d4f2396f8b6e/MeganWheelerHeadshot.jpg Blog - Introducing… Megan Wheeler - This week’s new author is Megan Wheeler. A neurodivergent writer and artist, Megan lives in an old railway cottage with her cat, and three ghosts. Once a struggling young reader herself, Megan’s passion for writing stems from wanting to help keep kids – especially boys – enjoying reading through their teen years. She writes funny (and sometimes rather gross) illustrated novels for teens, packed with themes of friendship and self-acceptance. Alongside writing, Megan enjoys knitting, portraiture, and making brightly coloured marshmallows. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/inspired-by-shanghai-local-legends-and-sibling-bonds monthly 0.5 2026-01-11 https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/bsu-celebrates-20-years-of-mawfyp monthly 0.5 2026-01-10 https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-karen-millar monthly 0.5 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/5c788948-c6bf-4432-afee-390295273201/headshot+5.jpg Blog - Introducing… Karen Millar - Today’s wonderful new author is Karen Millar. Karen writes fantasy adventures with heart, her protagonists are everyday kids with everyday baggage. Only when adventure sneaks up do they discover the superpowers they had all along. As a feminist and advocate for liberty and democracy, Karen champions protagonists who fight for freedom in all its forms. Karen has worked in the music industry for nearly 30 years as a teacher and performer, and loves seeing kids light up making music they adore. She has never ridden a badass battle-ready seahorse, but would jump at the chance. Karen lives beside glorious ancient woodlands in Wales, with lots of family and a very fluffy dog. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-holly-robbins monthly 0.5 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/f79572ff-f600-4a55-b989-97f94d8dfa11/20251212_132511.jpg Blog - Introducing… Holly Robbins - Meet Holly Robbins, today’s featured author from the MAWFYP 2025 cohort. Holly grew up in Somerset in a house nestled between the moors and the sea and still feels most happy when she is near a body of water. Nowadays, she lives on a cosy narrowboat on the River Avon. Inspired by a deep love of mythology, she went to university to do Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic Studies. She writes stories inspired by British folklore, the sea, music and friends, as well as Vikings, monks, mandrakes and other historical curiosities. Her imagination is entirely fuelled by tea and daydreams. When she's not writing you’ll find her painting flowers on things, or desperately trying to catch the attention of a nearby dog. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-friederike-hamann monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/8e81b36c-a18d-4ac1-a93b-2593295bf089/FH02.jpg Blog - Introducing… Friederike Hamann - Today’s new author is Friederike Hamann. Friederike grew up in the industrial Ruhr area, where scrap yards, quarries and forests merge into a giant adventure park. She made the most of her unsupervised childhood by bushwhacking through brambles and exploring abandoned factories. It sparked a lasting fascination with the wild, green corners of a city, which now serve as backdrops for her storytelling. She lives with her family in Berlin, where squirrels have serious attitude. When she’s not in her studio making wobbly sculptures or running art workshops for kids, she walks around town in search of new, unruly plots. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/inspired-by-revolution-diaspora-and-identity monthly 0.5 2026-01-04 https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-sam-spier monthly 0.5 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/87caed1e-f481-4882-a704-51c2dbdf7925/_DSC4043-Edit+copy.jpg Blog - Introducing… Sam Spier - Happy New Year!

When she’s not writing, she can be found curled up with a book, drinking her third (or fourth) cup of tea. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-john-gilmore monthly 0.5 2025-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/0aaba68a-694a-4c05-b6d1-880f64b5b789/%27Introducing%27+John+Gilmore.JPG Blog - Introducing… John Gilmore - Today meet John Gilmore, another of our wonderful 2025 cohort.

Inspired by a childhood of dens, treehouses, and his grandparents’ storytelling, he writes funny rhyming picture books, chapter books, and humorous adventures for lower middle-grade readers. His stories feature larger-than-life characters, oddball situations, and a playful mix of the absurd and heartfelt. Having experienced two round-the-world backpacking trips, John draws on campfire tales, a love of nature, and a commitment to protecting the environment, often adding folkloric and eco-conscious twists to his work. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-sophie-dewdney monthly 0.5 2025-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/5aef6c0e-e324-4e3f-a8bf-0a27ec146234/1000029707.jpg Blog - Introducing… Sophie Dewdney - Today’s fabulous new author is Sophie Dewdney.

An avid lover of romance, fantasy and ghosts, she loves writing stories that delve into the emotional complexities teens face, with the added challenges of first loves and spooky spirits.

Much like her protagonist, Anna is a shameless dreamer. She grew up in Yorkshire, Canada, the Shetlands and Russia. Consequently, she is very tolerant of the cold and has never felt that she quite fits in. She studied History of Art and French at university before becoming a teacher. Anna loves perfectly imperfect heroines who stomp and trip through the pages of history. So much so that she wrote an article about them for Leaf Journal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/2ecd7405-ea80-44ff-a00a-59b9525c51b6/Introducing...+my+inspiration+-+L+M+Montgomery+-+her+photo+on+my+deak.jfif Blog - Introducing… Anna Trusty - Who is your favourite author and how have they inspired you? L M Montgomery has always been my favourite author. Her best-known protagonists, Anne Shirley and Emily Starr are both highly sensitive and imaginative. And just as importantly, they’re funny and imperfect. L M Montgomery created these two characters over 100 years ago and they still inspire today. Hers was not a happy life, and yet, in Anne and Emily she has brought joy to millions of readers around the world. She is such an inspiration to me that I have a framed picture of her on my desk. It is a photograph of her that I love particularly for its playful feel, perhaps reflecting a happier time in her life. https://www.mawfypanthology.com/blog/introducing-timothy-hughes monthly 0.5 2025-12-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb1c047cb4042282f78498/53e774d3-182e-492b-b6dd-ac03d6e0ee57/TWH+Headshot+1.png Blog - Introducing… Timothy Hughes - Meet Timothy Hughes, today’s MAWFYP author. Timothy Hughes grew up in the Laura Ashley-tinted tones of rural Kent, discovering early that storytelling and making people laugh suited him far better than paisley patterns. A one-time finance worker seduced by tailored jackets and limitless, free stationery, he kept his creative pulse alive through disco daydreams and a degree in English Language and Literature with the Open University. Timothy later gained MAs in Children’s Literature (Roehampton, 2020,) and Writing for Young People (Bath Spa, 2025,). He is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Kent and exploring how camp, memory, and belonging can help even the most anxious hearts find themselves in fiction.
