Kathryn Evans

Kathryn Evans has been an actor, a waitress, a celery cutter and a newspaper deliverer - she's even scrubbed the decks of the Mary Rose. Now she combines being an author with being a mum, running a strawberry farm, volunteering as finance co-ordinator for SCBWI, occasionally performing belly dance and fencing competitively. Kathryn's debut novel More of Me was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and won the 216 Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award - the first YA novel ever to do so.
