About me

Hey! I’m Nadz, YA author and bookworm.

I tried writing my first book a decade ago. I sent it EVERYWHERE, but I never got that magic ‘yes’.

My love of writing led me to journalism and I landed a dream job as a showbiz reporter, interviewing A-listers and living in LA. I also started The Self-Esteem Team, delivering mental health talks in schools to help young people.

But my dream for fiction wouldn’t shift…

Then, one day, my friend Grace and I got chatting about how fun it’d be to write together. Our first book also got turned down, but a zillion ideas and rewrites later, and being very close to giving up, we got a book deal.

So, if you’ve got a dream, keep going. If you want to do that thing, you can!

I believe in you.

Now, I voice Lexi in YA thriller Friends Don’t Tell. There’s quite a bit of Lexi in me. Her love of music helps her escape, but secretly she struggles more than she lets on… In fact, I think there’s quite a bit of Lexi in all of us.
