Angela Young is a graduate of Middlesex University’s MA in Creative Writing. In 1995, BBC Books published Young's 30,000-word ending to Edith Wharton’s last, unfinished novel, The Buccaneers.

Young's novels, Speaking of Love and The Dance of Love, explore what happens when we don't say how we feel. Young's first non-fiction explores the tragedy of Titanic, through the eyes of two survivors: an aristocrat (Young's great-grandmother) and an able seaman.

Young lives and writes in south-west London. Her website address is: www.angela-young.co.uk if you'd like to find out more.
