Grace Haddon writes trope-bending comedic speculative fiction – expect coffee-brewing evil wizards and tales of Greek gods. She hails from Leicester, in the heart of the English midlands, though there aren’t many dragons there. She is on the writing team of WI4C (Write in For Charity Leicester), a writing initiative which produces ebooks in aid of local charities, alongside editor/founder Dale Anthony Church.

She holds a 1st-class BA in Creative and Professional Writing from the University of Nottingham, where she edited the class anthology Vices and Virtues, which was launched at the Nottingham Writers Studio in 2016. In 2017, she was on the judging panel for the Leicester Writes Short Story Competition.

In 2015, her short story Running From Shadows won the creative writing category of the Project Remix competition, judged by Malorie Blackman. Her story The Sky is Black and Endless was shortlisted for the HG Wells Short Story Competition 2016.
