Julia Clarke
Julia Clarke left school at 16 and worked in a library because she loves books. After gaining a Certificate of Education at Goldsmith's College, London, she took a post-graduate course and worked in the theatre as an actress and writer. After six adult novels, Julia started writing for teenagers, setting herself the challenge of creating a story which her son and daughter would enjoy as much as the soaps on TV!
Julia has had several teenage novels published, all of which have been praised for their distinctive narrative voice and emotional impact.
Her most recent novel, The Other Alice, is accessible and thought-provoking, perfect for teenage girls...
In 1999 Julia was awarded a distinction in a Creative Writing MA from The University of Leeds. She lives in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
