Since editing The Ultimate Book Guide in 2004, Daniel Hahn has curated two exhibitions, lived in Germany, edited a book about the Globe Theatre, translated quite a lot and started writing a new book. He’s done little bits of teaching, organised a couple of charity fundraisers, and, you know, other things like that. As you can see, he’s still got no intention of getting a proper job.
Leonie Flynn lives surrounded by boxes. Usually she lives surrounded by books, but moving has put paid to that. When not writing, staring at boxes or being heartlessly cruel to young boys (she’s a librarian at a school) she attempts to read every book she reads about and to write every story she imagines. Actually, she fails at both, but still manages to remain remarkably cheerful.
Susan Reuben is senior publisher at Egmont Books. Four days before The Ultimate Teen Book Guide was due to be delivered to the publishers she delivered her first child: Isaac Harry. When not feeding her baby, Susan enjoys sleeping.
