Tia Fisher

Day of appearance – Sunday

Tia writes books for the rebel inside her. She spent her youth desperate to escape the boredom of a tiny village in Norfolk, reading everything she could lay her hands on. After being expelled from boarding school and dropping out of university, she had a bewildering variety of jobs – from TV presenter to ESOL teacher to artists’ model – before finding her happy place working in libraries and writing stories. In her fifties, she went back to university, and is now the proud owner of a master’s degree in writing for young people. She has recently moved back to Norfolk – and now she doesn’t think it’s boring at all!

Hot Key Books will publish Tia’s YA verse novel NOT GOING TO PLAN in autumn 2025.
