PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Susanna Bailey divides her time between writing and lecturing in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. Susanna wrote Snow Foal during her time at the same university where she drew much inspiration from her tutor, award-winning author David Almond. She went on to be awarded an MA in Writing for Young People. Snow Foal was shortlisted for the Joan Aitken Future Classics Prize, given an honorary mention in the United Agents/Bath Spa University Prize for the same year and longlisted for the Blue Peter Book Prize. Her second book, Otter's Moon won the Gold Made For Mums 2021 award. Raven Winter is her latest novel, publishing in late 2021.
