Jacob North was born in South England and grew up with a longing for magical adventures that centred LGBT+ characters. Struggling to find them on bookshop shelves, he decided to write them himself. When he's not butchering the Dutch language or holding out for a snowy winter, he's crafting whimsical worlds with characters who happen to be diverse. The first book inThe Ice Apprentices, his debut magical middle-grade series, will publish in 2025.
