Nic Benson has been immersed in books and literature all her life. Over the past twenty five years she has worked as an English teacher, a bookseller and a school librarian; has run writing and reading groups; completed various residential and university-based writing courses, and recently gained a Masters in Creative Writing at York St. John University.

​

Nic has had her work printed in various publications, including Mslexia and Writers' Forum magazine,  having a particular interest in the short story and poetry. That said, she is also working on a full-length novel for young adults.

​

When she's not either reading or writing, Nic can normally be found covered in dogs while watching a horror film, running very slowly around her local town, or

teaching teenagers not to be scared of Shakespeare.
