Drawing upon his own struggles with a late dyslexia diagnosis, and his experience as a teacher, Dan Batchelor wanted to demonstrate to his pupils that anything is possible, creating a relatable and engaging protagonist alongside a narrative that is both playful and fun introduction to science fiction whilst remaining rooted in reality, dealing with topics including morality, power and friendship.

Jack Palmer: A New Order, which comes out in June, tells a new story on what happens when extra-terrestrials make contact with earth. In the movies Dan watched growing up, when aliens invaded, humans come together to save the world, in this imaging things go very different.

Dorothy Koomson

Hello, my name's Dorothy Koomson and I'll try to make this bit that's all about me as interesting as possible.
I wrote my first novel called There's A Thin Line Between Love And Hate when I was 13. I used to write a chapter every night then pass it around to my fellow convent school pupils every morning, and they seemed to love it.

I grew up in London and then grew up again in Leeds when I went to university. I eventually returned to London to study for my masters degree and stayed put for the following years. I took up various temping jobs and eventually got my big break writing, editing and subbing for various women's magazines and national papers.

Fiction and storytelling were still a HUGE passion of mine and I continued to write short stor

G.D. Wright

My name is Gary (pen name G.D. Wright) and I live in Kent with my wife and two young children.

I joined Kent Police at the age of 18, working on the front line in a variety of uniformed roles until the age of 29 when, completely out of the blue, I suffered two cardiac ‘events’, and was subsequently diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable disease of the heart (arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy if you’re being fussy!). As a result, I had an internal defibrillator implanted in me, and I had to retire from the police aged 30.

One door closed, but another opened, and my wife and I bought a coffee shop in Ramsgate Harbour. We spent eight of the happiest years of our lives there but, when the kiddies came along, it just wasn’t sustai
