Crossing the Line is Tia Fisher's debut novel. In her spare time, she works in a children's library and has also completed an MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. She has published poems in The Rialto and been longlisted for the Mslexia Children's Novel Award. Crossing the Line has been longlisted for the UK Literacy Association Book Awards 2023 and the Warwickshire Teen Book Awards 2023 and shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2024, Southern Schools Book Award 2023 and the Bristol Teen Book Awards 2023. Tia lives in South London with her husband and two teenage children (who wish she'd stop mining them for source material).
