Authors come in all shapes, sizes and indeed, ages. While many authors found their love of reading at a young age, most had to wait quite a long time before seeing their first novel in print. At Pegasus, we’re lucky enough to have several very young authors in publication with us! We thought we’d highlight just a few.

Lily Divall
Lily was just eighteen years old when her debut novel, A False Creation, was published earlier this year. Set in a world of Gods and magic, Lily’s debut novel follows the story of Lola, a sixteen-year-old girl who finds herself caught up in an ancient battle.
Since publication, Lily has held book signings close to her home in Nottinghamshire and has visited schools to help spread her love of writing and to talk about her experience of being published. She was also voted our Book of The Month for October.
She also runs her own blog about her writing life: www.lilydivall.com

Taylor Michele Addison
Taylor’s debut novel Sincerely, B combines crime and mystery with historical fiction and tragedy. Early twentieth century, Connecticut, United States. Eleven-year-old Lillian starts a new life with her loving family after her father's promotion at a museum. Everything seems to be working out perfectly, and her new life looks very promising. But shortly after her arrival to America, a series of tragic events begins to unfold.
Released at the end of October, Sincerely, B was published when Taylor was fourteen but she’s had it written since she was even younger – twelve years old in fact! Now it’s selling internationally and an audiobook is in the works.
Milana-Sophia Challenger
Our youngest author, Milana-Sophia was only eight (yes, eight) when her book The Enchanted Oasis was published. Milana-Sophia has had an interesting life so far, and the book was inspired by the desert creatures encountered during her time living in Qatar. Combining Milana-Sophia’s story of adventure and friendship with truly beautiful illustrations by Joanna Scott, The Enchanted Oasis is a charming, magical story for young readers.
Now Milana-Sophia and her family live in Geneva where she has book signings and talks at her school lined up for the new year. That’s a big achievement for a girl who’s not even in high school yet!

We are honoured to work with as many authors as we do at Pegasus Publishers – each with their own stories to tell. Their worlds are singular, their characters are relatable, and their creativity truly knows no bounds. This is Author Life, a feature on the Pegasus Blog that opens the door to each of our author’s creative process and previous literary experience, offering you – the reader – an opportunity to learn a little about the mind behind the novel.

An extract from Tony M.Adams’ middle grade fantasy quest, where a 13-year-old girl holds the key to the secrets that could save the fate of the world... It was wet, warm, and slow-moving. Masie knew precisely what it was. As usual, Masie’s dog, Archie, had got in her bedroom and woke her up with a big, wet lick to her face. “Ewwww, Archie…” Masie mumbled, covering her head with her quilt. Archie sat down, his nose inches from Masie’...
