Susan Price (born 8 July 1955) is an English author of children's and young adult novels. She has won both the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Prize for British children's books.[1][2]
Price was born in Dudley, Worcestershire (now West Midlands) in what is known as the Black Country.[3] The region had a major effect on her writing which is "grounded in its history and geology, the limestone and iron ore and coal and fireclay of a landscape that spawned the industrial revolution".[4] From a working class family, she left school without qualifications, and stacked supermarket shelves and washed up in hotel kitchens while writing her first books.[5]
She has written over 60 books, and also worked as a Royal Literary Fund fellow attached to De Montford University.[6]
