Underwater - Paperback

Fletcher, Helen Vivienne: - Helen Vivienne Fletcher wrote her first novel between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. It is, by several accounts, one of the funniest novels ever written. It's just a shame it was supposed to be a psychological thriller. Helen has worked in many jobs, doing everything from theatre stage management to phone counselling. She discovered her passion for writing for children and young people while working as a youth support worker, and now helps children find their own passion for storytelling through her business Brain Bunny Workshops, which runs creative writing holiday programmes and afterschool classes. Helen is the author of three picture books for children, one short story collection and two young adult novels. She has won and been shortlisted for several writing competitions, including making the shortlist for the 2008 Joy Cowley Award, and in 2015 she was named Outstanding New Playwright at the Wellington Theatre Awards. Overall Helen just loves telling stories, and is always excited when people want to hear or read them.
