Matt Whyman is a distinctive contemporary voice in childrenโs and adult writing. After graduating from the University of East Angliaโs MA in Creative Writing, Mattโs career as a writer has taken him from Agony Uncle columns (Bliss magazine and AOL) and teen self-help guides to the cutting edge of both adult and childrenโs fiction. His critically acclaimed young adult novel Boy Kills Man was short-listed for several awards, including the 2004 Teenage Book Prize, and praised by Melvin Burgess: โBold, chilling and beautifully writtenโ. It is currently in development as a feature film with the producers of the cult film Kidulthood. Matt is married with four children (and an enormous dog) and lives in West Sussex, England.
