Miranda Moore's headshot

Miranda is award-winning author of the contemporary YA novel, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing, for which she won the DFB & Arvon Search for a Storyteller Competition 2024. She also won the Wells Festival of Literature Book for Children 2023. She works as a Royal Literary Fund Fellow, helping students with their writing. She also works as a freelance editor and writing coach. Her background is in journalism.

She most enjoys Q&A/panel-type events or delivering small events to keen readers. She also enjoys working with people on any aspect of writing craft/creative writing. She prefers a more informal, relaxed style of event where she can really connect with the audience. She thinks young people are brilliant and loves to interact with people of all ages and engage in lively, philosophical discussion.

She can provide a (free) discussion guide for teachers and librarians to accompany A Beautiful, Terrible Thing.
