Frances Stickley

Frances is a former primary school teacher who first realised her love for writing with the poem My Dad's Milkfloat aged six. She is a trained children's literacy specialist and she won the Bloomsbury and National Literacy Trust short story prize in 2017. Her debut books Love you Always and What will you Dream of Tonight? were published by Nosy Crow in 2019.

She lives with her family and a big-eared dog in Nottinghamshire. When she is not writing, you'll find her in the forest playing dragons with her daughters.
