Lucy Christopher, Author

Lucy grew up in Australia, but now resides in the UK. She works as a sessional lecturer at Bath Spa University, having studied for an MA in Creative Writing there. She is currently completing a PhD in Creative Writing, of which her debut novel Stolen was the creative part.

Success was immediate for Lucy: Stolen, was longlisted for the Carnegie Medal and was the winner of the 2010 Branford Boase Award, described by judges as being a “sensitive, compelling and intense novel with a great sense of place.” 

Stolen has also achieved considerable international success having won the Australian Gold Inky Award, as well as having been shortlisted for the prestigious Prime Minister’s Literary Awards in Australia and the Children’s Book Council of Australia Book of the Year for Older Readers.

Lucy’s second novel, Flyaway, was shortlisted for the Costa Book Award 2010 and the Waterstone’s Prize, as well as being longlisted for the Carnegie Medal.

In her spare time, Lucy likes to ride a grumpy chestnut mare called Topaz and travel around the world visiting family and friends. She is currently working on her third novel for Chicken House.
