SPEAKER DETAILS:
AWCD member Alison Weatherby's debut novel is a YA spy thriller following two code-breaking teenage girls at Bletchley Park during World War Two. Published this month, it's already a Recommended Book of the Month at Durban's, and reviewed in The Irish Times.
For more than 15 years, Alison tried to fit her love for writing around her career in the tech industry in Seattle. She started as a short story writer, earning a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, but began writing for children after taking a course with the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
Alison wrote and got the publishing deal while in Ireland, and will speak about the how the children’s book world is very different in Ireland than in the UK (and WAY different from America)
