Louie Stowell worked in children’s publishing for 15 years before becoming a full-time writer. Her debut novel for children, The Dragon in the Library, came out in 2019, followed by two more in the series, The Monster in the Lake and The Wizard in the Wood.
In 2021 she published Otherland, a middle grade novel (very) loosely based on Spenser’s Faerie Queene, with a touch of Queenie from Blackadder. Translated into 29 languages and counting, Louie’s bestselling and multi-award-winning Loki: A Bad God’s Guide series began in 2022 and, if she has anything to do with it, will go on for many years.
She also writes short stories and writes and draws comics. Louie lives in Hackney with her wife, Karen, her dog, Buffy, and a nameless creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
