Louise Austin

Children's Author

Welcome

Dragons, vampires, emotion-sucking demons and too much homework. These are the sorts of scary things I like to write about. Picking up a new book should be the exciting start of a new adventure. One of my favourite sights is a kid frantically turning pages to find out what happens next, or recommending a book they've loved to a friend.

One of the best things about working in the classroom is matching kids with books they'll enjoy and on this page you'll find my top recommendations and you can also find out about my own writing. My debut book, Alex Abbott is [Un]Dead, will be published by the incredible Macmillan Children's Books in April 2026 and is available to preorder now!
