Notă biografică

Don't be fooled by her name - Debbie Young is old enough to have had 30 years of experience in journalism, PR, marketing and publishing. An enthusiastic writer and blogger, she now draws on all her past lives to help new authors sell their books through the services of her consultancy, Off The Shelf Book Promotions. To the benefit of authors everywhere, she is also helping to raise a new generation of enthusiastic readers by working part-time at the national children's reading charity, Readathon. Born and raised in Sidcup, Kent, Debbie now lives in a small Gloucestershire village with her Scottish husband and their daughter. One day, she hopes to have read all the books on her "must read" list - and to catch up on her sleep.
