Meer oor die skrywer
Mary Wollstoncraft Shelley was born in 1797 in London, England. She attended school, unlike most girls at that time. When she was seventeen, she married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and started writing her first novel, Frankenstein. It was inspired by a nightmare. She finished it when she was twenty-one and published the book anonymously. A few years later, it was published under her name. She wrote several other novels and short stories before she died in 1851.
Anna Meriano is the author of the Love Sugar Magic series, which has received starred reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, and Shelf Awareness. A Houston native, she graduated from Rice University with a degree in English and earned her MFA in writing for children from the New School. Anna works as a tutor and part time teacher with Writers in the Schools, a Houston nonprofit that brings creative writing instruction into public schools. In her free time, she likes to knit, study American Sign Language, and play full-contact quidditch.
