Lucy Cuthew has published over thirty children’s books, including picture books, educational titles and non-fiction, and she regularly speaks on the subject of children's books for the BBC. She was a children’s editor for over ten years, both in-house and freelance, and graduated from the MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa in 2019, with an exceptionally high distinction grade. Lucy likes TV written by funny women, science podcasts, mountains and croissants. She lives in Cardiff with her husband and young twins, and is currently working on a new YA verse novel about the impact of online pornography on young people.
Written with humour and understanding, this is the book young
people need.

With every verse of her debut, Cuthew shouts down the shame, chips
away at the period taboo, and firmly establishes herself as a bold
and vital new voice in feminist literature.
*Samantha Shannon*
Blood Moon is one of the best YA debuts I’ve read in years. Moving,
compelling and bold, it filled me with such hope. It’s a very
special book.
*Louise O'Neill*
A bloody brilliant book!
*Gabby Edlin, CEO and Founder of Bloody Good Period*
This is female adolescence, crystalized. And it's astounding.
*Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author*
