I also took up a fellowship position at Aston University, Birmingham, this month. Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellows work throughout the UK in universities, helping students and staff one-to-one with writing development from our unique perspective as professional writers. If you’re a current student at Aston or any other university, then reach out to your resident fellow if you feel you need help. I’m so excited to connect and offer advice!
Wren James is the Carnegie-longlisted British author of many Young Adult novels as ‘Lauren James’, including Last Seen Online, Green Rising, The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker and The Quiet at the End of the World. Amazon MGM Studios is developing The Loneliest Girl in the Universe as a feature film. Joe Roth and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum will produce the film alongside Katherine Langford.
They are a RLF Royal Fellow and the story consultant on Netflix’s Heartstopper (Seasons 2 and 3). Season 3 will guest star Jonathan Bailey, playing a role created by Wren.
