Meet Victoria Williamson, author of eight novels, and more, which have been short-listed, long-listed, and won numerous awards since 2018. We chat about her work, the importance of children seeing themselves in literature, school librarians, writing for a variety of genres and purposes, and 90's children's TV programmes!

Learn what it takes to get published, the lesser-known struggle to continue being visible, and the obstacles facing new authors through diminishing opportunities and funding.

Get to know Victoria better with our New2theScene presenter and hear about the full time job of visiting schools, promoting her work, donating to charity... before the writing and editing begins!
