Angie Sage
Angie Sage is author of the bestselling Septimus Heap series of children’s books. Find her on the Bowling Green and in The House of Fairy Tales at this year’s festival, where she’ll be spellbinding children and adults alike with readings of her ‘magykal’ stories.
After studying Graphic Design and Illustration at art school, Angie worked as a book illustrator before progressing to writing – first with books for toddlers and then the first Septimus Heap book Magyk (2005). When Magyk reached the top of the New York Times Bestseller list Angie was thrilled to be able to fulfil her dream of becoming a full-time writer. She has published five books in the Septimus Heap series and a further five books in the Araminta Spook series.
Although Angie lives in Somerset, Cornwall is the inspiration for the landscape of the Septimus Heap books, where she often escapes to her sailboat ‘Annie’ to write.
Angie is currently writing the sixth book in the Septimus Heap series, Darke, which is due for publication in 2011. Plans are also underway to make a film of Magyk.
