Lola Allen is a London based independent author and teacher. Her début novel The Heartless Game is her MA Creative Writing project, and a story that is very close to her heart.

"The issues raised, such as friendship, betrayal and love, are all themes that resonate deeply with me."

Lola passionately believes in creative writing as a tool to expand and educate young minds, and pushes for this in her teaching.

"I believe that words are the best weapons by which we can use to express ourselves. No matter who you are, or where you're from, everyone has a story to tell. "

After completing and publishing my first novel, The Heartless Game, I took a 2 year hiatus...too scared to write anything more. Fast forward to 2015, and I have written so much more than I could ever have dreamed! I'm in love with writing and will never stop. I advise all budding writers to do the same - don't give up on your art, it's too important!(less)

It's actually a non-fiction book, funnily enough. It was recommended by one of my students (I'm always blown away when teenagers read in their spare time, as so many young people today do not bother to read). It's called The Subtle Art of Not Giving See Full Answer

Meg Rosoff
“Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are. The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.”
Meg Rosoff

Margaret Atwood
“Reading and writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it - will be dead as well.”
Margaret Atwood
