Beth Shoshan was born in Brighton. She never seemed destined to be
a children's writer, after all she
had failed English Composition.
But everything changed when she
was challenged by Meadowside
to write the most inappropriate
children's book imaginable - it
should contain sweets, explosions
and arcane English words. She
did, and Smidge became an instant
best-seller. Now with over 30 titles
to her name, Beth has become one
of the most successful children's
authors of the past few years.
