Nevin Holness writes stories that explore magic within the Jamaican diaspora and she is passionate about creating complex and fantastical narratives that young Black readers can see themselves reflected in. She is a graduate of the Penguin Random House WriteNow Programme that has produced acclaimed writers such as Manjeet Mann, winner of the Costa Children’s Book award and Emma Smith Barton, shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.

When she's not writing, Nevin spends most of her time listening to Beyoncé.
