Matt Whyman is a distinctive contemporary voice in childrenтАЩs and adult writing. After graduating from the University of East AngliaтАЩs MA in Creative Writing, MattтАЩs 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 childrenтАЩs 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: тАШBold, chilling and beautifully writtenтАЩ. 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.
