Sally Nicholls
Sally Nichols was born in Stockton-on-Tees, just after midnight, in a thunderstorm. Her father died when she was two, and my brother Ian and I were brought up my mother. She always wanted to write - when people asked her what I wanted to be when I grew up, I used to say "I'm going to be a writer" - very definite.
After school she went and worked in a Red Cross Hospital in Japan and then travelled around Australia and New Zealand. Then she came back and did a degree in Philosophy and Literature at Warwick.
Her first book Ways to Live Forever was a multiple prize winner, see below.
Winner of Glen Dimplex Prize for New Writers 2008
Winner of Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize 2008
Winner of Luchs Prize (Germany) for best children’s book published in Germany in the last year
Longlisted for Branford Boase Award 2009
She now lives in a little flat in London. She has a part-time job as an administrator for a charity called Effective Intervention. The rest of her time is spent writing stories, and trying to believe her luck.
