Katie Dale

Katie Dale's two twisty tales are her first books on the Franklin Watts list. She's no stranger to having fun with fairy tales after writing a wonderul rhyming selection of fairy tale twists for Orchard Books. She had her first poem 'The Fate of The School Hamster' published in The Cadbury's Book of Children's Poetry, aged 8 and hasn't stopped writing since. On graduating, she went travelling through South-East Asia - only to discover whilst in a Vietnam internet cafe that she was a winner of the SCBWI 2008 Undiscovered Voices competition.
