Melinda Salisbury is a bestselling young adult author living on the east coast of England (although, if her enthusiastic tweets about her visit to the Island for Litfest 2017 are to be believed, she'll soon be setting up home on our very own shores!).
Her first novel, THE SIN EATER'S DAUGHTER, published by Scholastic in 2015, was the bestselling UK YA debut novel of 2015, and was nominated for multiple national and international awards, including the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, the YA Book Prize, the Carnegie Medal, and the Edgar Awards Best YA in the United States. Rights have been sold in 17 countries to date, and Little Island Productions have optioned the series for television.
