Beth Lincoln (Author)
Beth Lincoln is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The
Swifts.
Raised in a former Victorian railway station in the North of
England, her childhood fears included porcelain dolls, the Durham
panther, and wardrobes that looked at her funny. She grew neither
tall nor wise, and never learned to play an instrument - but she
did write stories, a bad habit that has persisted to this day.
When she isn't writing, Beth is woodcarving, or making a mess of
her flat, or talking the nearest ear off about unexplained
occurrences. Her favourite things include ghosts, crisps, and weird
old words like bumbershoot and zounderkite.
Among its many accolades, The Swifts was the winner of the 2023
Nero Children's Fiction Award and the Barnes & Noble Children's &
YA Book Award.
Beth lives in Newcastle upon Tyne with her partner and hopefully,
by the time you are reading this, a dog.
