Trenton Lee Stewart, Author

Trenton Lee Stewart is the New York Times bestselling author of The Mysterious Benedict Society, which won the E. B. White Read Aloud Award for Older Readers, among other honours. Born in 1970, he grew up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA and currently lives in Little Rock, Arkansas. After studying English literature and writing in college, he worked in several different jobs for several years, writing all the while. He also got married and has two excellent sons.

His advice for aspiring authors? ‘Read constantly and carefully - including a few reputable books on craft - and write as much as you can. Write what you think you would enjoy reading yourself. Be patient and persistent, and hammer away.’

The follow-up to The Mysterious Benedict Society was published April 2010 in the UK and the third book in the series will be released in March 2011.
