Nightwanderers is the second novel for young adults by UEA alumna Chelsey (C.J.) Flood and is published by Simon & Schuster this week. Chelsey was born in Derby and gained a BA in English from the University of Falmouth before joining the MA in Creative Writing (Prose Fiction) at UEA in 2009. She graduated in 2010 as the winner of that year’s Curtis Brown Award. Infinite Sky, her debut novel for young adults, was written while she was on the MA and was published in 2013. It went on to win the Branford Boase Award, the James Reckitt Hull Children’s Book Award, the Angus Book Award, and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and the Leeds Book Award.
