BETH O’Brien is an English Literature BA and Creative Writing MA graduate from the University of Birmingham. Work and leisure overlap a lot as reading, writing, and audio-booking are some of her favourite things to do. Beth is the author of a couple of poetry books, including I Left the Room Burning (Wild Pressed Books, 2021). Having been born visually impaired and with an upper-limb difference, Beth has a long-standing interest in the representation of disability in literature and is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing funded by Midlands4Cities, researching the (mis)representation of disability in contemporary fairy tale retellings. Beth’s debut middle grade book, Wolf Siren will be published by HarperCollins Children’s Books in 2025.
