Lisa Williamson was born and grew up in Nottingham. Following a
degree in drama, she worked as an actor for over a decade before
writing her debut novel, The Art of Being Normal.
Lisa loves writing about characters who are different from her and
Mia Campbell-Richardson definitely fits the bill. She's everything
Lisa wasn't at 16 – loud, daring and uber confident. With no idea
what's she's doing or where she's heading, she's the sort of girl
who doesn't usually get to be at the centre of the story. This is
exactly why Lisa wanted to take the time to get to know her and
figure out what's really going on behind the big hair and fiery
attitude.
When she's not writing, Lisa likes long walks, long talks, dessert
of all kinds, good books and bad TV. She lives in East London.
'Mia's comical, infuriating and touching story will draw you in and keep you hooked' – BookTrust; 'A tumultuous but poignant tale about family, friendship and being a sister' – The Sun; 'A zingy rites of passage novel filled with warmth and insight' – Financial Times
