Tia Fisher

Tia Fisher is the multi-award-winning author of the incredible narrative verse YA novel, Crossing the Line. Tia writes books for the rebel inside her. She spent her youth desperate to escape the boredom of a tiny village in Norfolk, reading everything she could lay her hands on. After being expelled from boarding school and dropping out of university, she had a bewildering variety of jobs – from TV presenter to ESOL teacher to artists’ model – before finding her happy place working in libraries and writing stories. In her fifties, she went back to university and is now the proud owner of a master’s degree in writing for young people. She has recently moved back to Norfolk – and now she doesn’t think it’s boring at all! Tia’s latest YA novel Not Going to Plan is published by Hot Key Books and Tia’s upcoming middle grade WW2 story, Operation Doodlebug is publishing in 2026 with Piccadilly Press.
