MEG ROSOFF
Attending Sunday 2.30pm-6.00pm and taking part in a panel - "YA Books as Films"]
Meg Rosoff was born in Boston but has been living in the UK since 1989. Her first book, How I Live Now was published in 2004 and won the Guardian and Branford Boase Awards and was short-listed for the Orange Prize for New Fiction as well as the Whitbread. Undaunted by the success of her sensational debut, Meg followed up How I Live Now with four more critically-acclaimed novels: Just in Case, which won the coveted Carnegie Medal in 2007; What I Was; The Bride’s Farewell for which Meg was shortlisted for yet another Carnegie Medal; and There Is No Dog. Her latest book is Picture Me Gone. The film of How I Live Now, produced by Passion Pictures and Cowboy Films will be on general release in October 2013, directed by Kevin MacDonald and starring Saoirse Ronan, Anna Chancellor and Tom Holland.
