Phil Earlehero

By Claire McDonald

Are you ready for a live twitter chat on Tuesday 17th April at 1pm with one of the best writers of Young Adult fiction; author Phil Earle?  It's to celebrate the publication of an exclusive story he has written especially for Tesco Kids' Book Club, which will be launched alongside the Q&A on the 17th.
Phil Earle uses first hand experience to write about troubled teenagers, creating stories that are heartbreaking, inspiring and impossible to put down, such as his novels Saving Daisy and Being Billy. 
Phil worked as a care worker in a children’s home in his early 20s, before becoming a bookseller at Ottakars and then working in children’s publishing. His honest and emotional stories come from what he knows, making his characters and storylines so believable and ensuring that these books will be re-read again and again.
Whether you are a fan of his insightful writing, have questions about writing yourself, or just want to talk to one of the hottest new fiction writers around, then don’t miss this live twitter chat with Phil Earle.
Phil will be chatting to us from 1pm but don’t worry if you can’t make it at that time. You can tweet your questions to @tescomagazine in advance, just remembering to add the hashtag #kidsbookclub. Or leave a comment below. There are five copies of Saving Daisy for the best questions.

    Do you have a special place to write like Roald Dahl and his shed at the bottom of his garden?
