Zosia Wand is an author and playwright whose stories are rooted in the landscape of South Cumbria. Her commissions include a number of plays for Radio 4 and theatre productions. The Guardian described her adaptation of Hansel and Gretel and More Tales from the Forest for Williamson Park as “a form of free-association fairy tale remix that owes as much to Shrek as to the Brothers Grimm”. A graduate of the Sky Drama’s Flip The Script course, Zosia is currently developing a drama for television. Her novels include the Tarnside Trilogy, an interlinked series of psychological thrillers. Once Upon A Place is her literary debut. Zosia has worked extensively in reader development, regularly hosts events in libraries and bookshops and teaches creative writing.
