Linda Iris Newbery (born 12 August 1952)[1] is a British writer known best for young-adult fiction—where she entered the market, although she has broadened her range to encompass all ages. She published her first novel Run with the Hare in 1988,[2] while still working as an English teacher[clarification needed] in a comprehensive school.
Linda is a regular tutor for the Arvon Foundation and is a member of the Society of Authors and the Scattered Authors' Society.[3]
Background
Linda Newbery was born in Romford, Essex,[1] spent most of her childhood in Epping, and attended a grammar school in nearby Loughton.[4] As a child she kept her writing a secret, having been told by a headteacher that writing was "not a proper job", yet she filled several exercise books with her stories. As a young adult,[clarification needed] she also experimented with writing poetry.[5] She taught English in secondary schools while working on her novels, becoming a full-time writer in 2000.
