I use the writing name R. A. Stephens. I run publishing house Wombat Books and Rhiza Edge, but I also write and edit individually both for my own company and for other publishers.
I have long written stories and worked in editing, but only in recent years have I published my own work.
I have written a large range of textbooks for Pearson Education and worked with Cambridge University Press on a range of science textbooks for high school students.
I am primarily interested in writing work that mixes science and maths with children’s fiction, but I love all work aimed at young people. However my writing interests are eclectic!
I can never do one thing at a time – except writing. That is probably why I love it so much!
I am passionate about the written word, what stories can do to take a reader to a new world and open our eyes to love, compassion, the bigger picture and much more. When not working, teaching or writing, I enjoy living in the country and spending time with her kids, puppies and cats.
I love speaking at schools and events. I can be booked via CKT Speaker’s Agency or Speaker-Ink!
I am an Author Pen Pal and a Books in Homes Role Model
