Madeline Dyer is a bestselling children’s and YA author, drawn to dark and twisty stories. She writes to understand strangeness and pain and how these operate around ideas of beauty and monstrosity. She often uses her stories to explore loneliness and isolation, struggles with identity and illness, and the impacts of dysfunctional families.
She also writes adult thrillers under the pen name M.J. Dyer. And, very, occasionally she writes books where no one dies and these are romances and contemporary fiction written as Elin Annalise.
Madeline is a postgraduate research at the University of Bristol. Her academic work focuses around Gothic novels from the nineteenth century to the present day and representations of prehistoric people in horror popular culture.
She is represented by Amy Collins at Talcott Notch Literary.
